The film tells the story of Tommy Nix (Joe Cole), a young man of the working class, who tries to avoid getting mixed up with the wrong crowd until he loses his girlfriend and unborn child as a result of a brutal attack by an armed gang.
It's the performances that really carry this film. Cole's intense portrayal marks him as one to watch and rapper English Frank also impresses as the prison's posturing, cod Jamaican kingpin Jake.
A spare script and lean dialogue lend genuine power to the taciturn youngster's unswervable quest for justice, a single-minded obsession that results in some truly bone-crunching violence.
The way the camera lingers on the lividly bruised and battered faces of his characters, plus the clichéd use of slow motion, epitomise the film's limitations.
