This leads to more and deeper trouble but he's stuck, what's he gonna do?We don't know why this young man is sent to prison, but we see he's in big trouble.

I thought this was surprisingly good - a gripping and tense action/thriller watch with some plot twists and I liked that the characters were quite well developed. Ewan MacGregor gives a good performance in this film. I'd recommend it.
