A dark, disturbing motion picture that will have you questioning whether or not
penal systems truly make for better citizens or if they merely turn men into monsters and madmen.
The only place where the movie really falters is in the final minutes, which is a little too nice for the events that precede it, because even though the subject matter may be bleak, «Starred Up» is a
truly captivating film about the ineffectiveness of the
penal system and hands - down one of the best prison dramas in recent memory.
