Synopsis

The teenage criminal Eric Love seems street-smart enough to navigate the corruption of the British prison system. But after his violent streak sends him to an adult prison, Eric comes face to face with Nev, a career criminal, and his long-lost father.

Our take

Before landing an Oscar® nomination for Hell or High Water, director David Mackenzie exploded onto the scene with this brutal, blistering British drama. Both a solid, steadfast prison thriller and a nuanced psychological dual portrait, this taut tête-à-tête is led by two outstanding performances.
