A prison pic that separates itself from the genre by never flinching or shying away from the horrific violence
May 22, 2017
It's a spare, brutal, well-crafted prison drama, anchored by an at-turns wildly aggressive and hauntingly vulnerable lead performance by Green Room's Joe Cole.
April 02, 2018
The film is utterly riveting, as director Jean-Stephane Sauvaire takes the audience on a jarring, unforgettable odyssey that leaves us with some big themes to chew on.
July 19, 2018
It's a full-blown method-style performance. We don't question its authenticity for a moment.
July 16, 2018
There's finesse in the filmmaking, colour and conviction in the supporting performances... but it's Cole that really sells it, by making you feel like he's living every single horrible second.
July 19, 2018
Cole... plays Moore with a clamped-down, concentrated ferocity: the character is no roguish anti-hero, but a frantic knot of sinew, to whom we don't relate so much as just cling onto for dear life.

The routines and rituals of prison life and the boxers' training regime create an almost hypnotic spectacle, defined by the give and take of sparring body shots and repeatedly massaged limbs.
July 18, 2018
The viewer feels he is there with the cellmates and Hell-mates, a tabula rasa innocent abroad flung in among the tattooed and indigenous.
May 22, 2017
A big, bleeding feat of extreme cinema, given elevating human dimension by rising star Joe Cole's ferociously physical lead performance.
July 19, 2018
This is grisly, visceral, often unwatchably brutal stuff: what seems like a moment-by-moment depiction of an unspeakable ordeal.
July 19, 2018
There's no medal for enduring this gruelling cinematic encounter... but you'll be glad you did.
