Whatever you might think of prison films, this one is an extraordinary don’t miss. The performances are searing: Guy Pearce, in top form as a gritty. life-worn mentor-like inmate; newcomer Vincent Miller, whose character is newly transferred from juvenile prison; and, in perhaps the most astonishing role, Cosmo Jarvis playing a felon who was locked up at age 13 for committing one of the most atrocious crimes in Australia’s history. Be forewarned, this film is not for the faint of heart. There’s one shocking scene that stays with you. But if you’re looking for authentic exceptional acting, you’ll find it here.
