Condemned to an adult prison, an explosively violent young man is forced to fight for survival as criminal forces attempt to control him for their own good. Help comes from the unlikeliest source, his estranged father also serving time.
Starred Up Film Synopsis
19-year-old Eric, arrogant and ultra-violent, is prematurely transferred to the same adult prison facility as his estranged father. As his explosive temper quickly finds him enemies in both prison authorities and fellow inmates — and his already volatile relationship with his father is pushed past breaking point — Eric is approached by a volunteer psychotherapist, who runs an anger management group for prisoners. Torn between gang politics, prison corruption, and a glimmer of something better, Eric finds himself in a fight for his own life, unsure if his own father is there to protect him or join in punishing him.

FilmA treat. I recognized Jack O'connell from Skins, but what a different character. One of the best lines in Cinema is when he asks for a heli, two packs of burn and chocolate dgestives...you've just got to see it. Rent this movie, you'll be glad you did!.TaguascoScore: 5/5
Amazing, and thoroughly engaging.I have seen some amazing movies come out of Europe (besting even those from Hollywood) and this movie seems to be continuing the trend. Watching this movie with a 20 year veteran of the NYPD, he stated that everything was extremely realistic (more so than any American cop show he has ever seen), and the acting by the lead was so convincing, I found myself hating him by the end of the movie (where I usually feel nothing for the stars in most movies I watch). This, it turns out, is the mark of a great actor; one that can make you feel something, instead of completely apathy. I am thorough impressed by this film, and would recommend it to anyone that wants to see what real talent, dedication, and ability can produce..DatflybodyScore: 4/5

Thumbs way downAs a few of the negative reviews have already mentioned, the thick British accents make the dialouge difficult to follow. Subtitles would have been very useful. The plot is simply uninteresting and if you have ever seen a prison movie like Blood in Blood Out it makes this one look like a day care. On a positive note, it did convey a realistic vibe, however, pretty much a waste of time..Are you out of your mind?Score: 2/5

What a dogPointless movie, dont waste your money renting or buying. Acting is ok but the plot is a zero.The-buddyScore: 2/5
Meh. It was okayActing was great but there wasn't much of a story and several answered questions when the movie was over. Halfway through I turned on the subtitles (had a hard time with the accents) so maybe I missed something at the beginning :). I like a tale with a beginning, middle, and end. This movie felt like all middle..Romie66Score: 3/5
Important film, but…..….brutally violent and difficult to watch at times. Brilliant acting and directing. It was great to see Rupert Friend (Homeland’s Peter Quinn) in one of the few compassionate roles in the film..LizanycScore: 4/5

Deutsch Eric ist gerade einmal 19 Jahre und hat schon mehr Straftaten auf dem Buckel als manch erwachsener Schwerverbrecher. Nun hat die britische Justiz genug und verlegt ihn von einer Jugendstrafanstalt in ein Gefängnis für erwachsene Straftäter. Tatsächlich scheint sich der gewalttätige junge Mann mit einem Leben hinter Gittern bereits arrangiert zu haben und gibt auch im Knast den harten Hund - nur dass er es jetzt mit anderen Kalibern zu tun hat und eine Abreibung nach der andern kassiert. Trost und Hoffnung spendet ihm der unkonventionelle Therapeut Oliver, der Eric einen Ausweg aus dem kriminellen Teufelskreis aufzeigen will. Indes scheint auch der Insasse Neville ein Auge auf den jungen Krawallmacher geworfen zu haben, da er in ihm seinen Sohn wiedererkennt…
