So much of this Australian caged-man flick is derivative of the 'Grey Bar Hotel' genre that it's less a film about prison life than it is about prison films. But...Convict is a pretty good one. Go to Full Review

Clearly with something to say, George Basha returns to themes he wrote about so sharply in his 2009 debut feature, The Combination: the cultural and personal conflicts that are magnified through the prism of prison and crime Go to Full Review

Ari V May 14 The beginning and end feel off, but the middle transcends corresponding limitations quite admirably. See more JJ S 08/22/2023 This was the best movie I've seen in a long time. Not sure how it gets a 28 score...baffled. See more Ian R 07/17/2023 George Basha is a highly talented actor/writer/producer who grew up in the same city as I did. (Sydney, Australia). I hoped for so much more than this film delivered. Just another innocent man in prison film who is subjected to racial abuse, homosexual rape and corrupt prison administration. Not worth watching. See more 09/27/2017 Great flick! Good story and action. Really had me glued from start to finish and I’m a critic. Not sure why the bad reviews, obviously lower budget but great score and cinematography as such. Gritty film worth a watch. See more 07/18/2016 Very good make up. It made Donald Sutherland and Sylvester Stallone look almost unrecognisable this remake of Locked Up. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lock_Up_(film). Excellent work also from Sutherland and Stallone in getting the Australian accent down pat for the Australian setting of the new remake. Whoops, I just realised that it wasn't supposed to be a remake of "Locked Up". Must have just been a coincidence that the story lines were close to identical. See more 08/28/2015 For a lower budget film they did a great job. Is well worth a view as is so much more realistic than other movies based around a prison environment. See more Read all reviews
