Heavy hard going. Don't watch if you need cheering up. Craig Fairbrass, although is by now too typecast for his talent, is brilliant as usual. Carries a dark dark film further than it could have gone without him.

Low ratings from low-IQ viewers, I guess. I thought it was excellent. Yes, claustrophobic, as it all takes place inside a single dark prison cell, but the acting is top-notch, it's emotional, it holds your attention. It did mine. I just finished watching it and I'm kind of gutted. The daughter, in a brief performance, is wonderful. I'm glad I watched and I urge others to watch with an open mind. This is worth your time.

Very bleak, ultra violent movie. I wouldn't last 5 mins in prison lol. Very shocking ending. Didn't expect that..I guess he decided he needed to stay locked up for good.

When I watched this at first I had mixed feelings. As many say it is indeed just a movie of a man in his cell and I wasn't blown away with it at first. I was expecting mayhem and extreme violence but it has nowhere near the intensity of Foot Soldiers, Villain, etc. So I sat on my thoughts and watched it again a few hours later. Having watched it the second time around it came across totally differently. I would say it's some of the best acting Fairbrass has ever done and he went deep into who this character was and played him very well as a violent psychopath, yet a man who also thought deeply about what he had done, questioned who he was, and tried to understand the man that he once was and who he had become. One minute he was a 6ft 4 yeti psycho yet the next minute he was caring and compassionate. He really saw himself in his cellmate which calmed him in some ways. Ultimately did his demons take over or was it his care and compassion? Very deep indeed! I found it a very moving, dark psychological movie that made you think and I would say it's a fantastic movie. For those who complain I suggest you drop the expectation of violence and watch it again. This movie will truly get into your psyche and make you think. Fairbrass has shown it's not all about non-stop violence and he has seriously raised his acting game.

Well, AVENGEMENT this isn't. Instead it looks like a typical cheap lockdown movie, shot in just a single dark room with a few characters chattering interminably away. The plot feels like a spin on the old prison dramas about old lags taking young rookies under their wing, but despite a few moments of casual violence it's very dull, with cod psychology and bored actors.

Once again Mr Fairbrass shines through in this prison drama, a believable look at prison life and lost hope, thought provoking, claustrophobic, gritty, and tense Loved it.

Actor Ross McCall makes his directorial debut, second writing credit, and also cast himself in this low budget B film, and he did not disappoint. This is one of the much better B films I've seen in a long time. McCall's directing, along with the excellent cinematography, use of colors, and amazing camera angles/shots, as well as the impressive low budget basically two-room set, captured the gritty prison jail cell vibe to perfection. Add the better than usual (for a B film) score - just sometimes a little overbearing, and the viewer is immersed in the scenes. The 105 min runtime flew by even with the slow pacing and the lack of any real storyline, which is my only complaint. I get that McCall was aiming for a more character driven film, but there were many convoluted scenes, some needing more info, and an ending that needed explaining. I usually can guess or use my imagination for such endings, but I got too invested in the story and really wanted to know what McCall was trying to achieve. Had his writing been tighter, this film could've been one of the best prison films. The casting and performances were all spot on, with Fairbrass giving us one of his best performances to date. He carried this film and was really convincing in his character. Stephen Odubola was awesome, and the lovely Zoe Tapper was easy on the eyes. Overall I really enjoyed this film, and if you're a fan of the genre or Fairbrass, it's a must see. I applaud Ross McCall for giving us this little gem. It's a well deserving 7.5 rounded up to 8/10 from me.

Actually tbh after I watched this the 1st time I didn't go much on it but I watched it again and it grew on me ! It's really brilliantly acted and it tells a dark story and well acted by Craig Fairbrass! He's certainly an influential actor. Great movie.

When I first read the synopsis I thought this would be another cheaply made prison B-movie, with tons of macho cliches. None of that though. The good: seriously good acting performances by all actors involved, but especially the leading actor is quite impressive to watch. More good: we only get to see the inside of the dark prison cells, but despite these small and claustrophobic prison cells, there is still lots of great photography to be seen, underscored with a decent soundtrack. I hadnt expected these kind of qualities in such a low budget movie. Not any bad? Well, this story is simply too bleak and depressing to my likings. This movie will never get popular for that very reason, but I aint saying it is a bad movie because of that. Not at all. One thing was bugging me though, because there is a lack in dramatic development in the story, because there simply is not any sort of gripping storyline, which could have kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what would happen next. There was only more of the same bleak and depressing scenes of prison life, minute after minute... Understandable of course, because repetitious, depressing lving conditions is what real prison life is about, but movie making isnt. Kinda missed opportunity, to make this movie rise beyond what it is effectively now: a hardhitting, depressing portrait of the destructive prison conditions. Well acted though. And impressively portrayed. But I guess only suited for those who can stumach such a bleak and depressing story...
