Eric is een jonge delinquent die vanwege zijn gewelddadige gedrag wordt overgeplaatst naar een gevangenis voor volwassenen. Daar wordt hij geconfronteerd met zijn eigen vader, die het grootste deel van zijn leven in de gevangenis heeft doorgebracht. (Cinemien)
Recensie (2)
In the end, the father/son storyline leads somewhere, but everything that goes before it is just an annoying observation of dull, uninteresting prison inmates and their skirmishes with each other or with the prison staff. Even the character of a psychologist who wants to help junior does not add anything useful to the film. The weakest of any dozen brutal prison dramas you can recall.

The drama is good, but there are no moments here where one could laugh. Towards the end, it builds up even though it's essentially an inevitable culmination, which is suggested by the previous course of the whole film. Some great scenes will actually give you chills, which is exactly what the film needs. Maybe if they’d made it even more intense, it would truly be the pinnacle.
