If 'Offender' has a point to make about the justice system, it fails to land the punch.

Featuring some enjoyable performances and an entertaining revenge plot, it still has just enough about it to keep audiences entertained.

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.

Rated: 3/5

The detail is realistic and it's a decent enough genre piece.

I think the plot was a good idea, but I wasn't really a fan of it. It couldn't keep my attention and the characters were annoying.

The lead actor really pulls you into this movie and does a great job of keeping you focused on the story being told. If you focus on the story this film really delivers and makes you think.

Watched this last night without watching the trailer or reading the synopsis and I would say that is the best way to watch it. Enjoyed it much more than expected. Fairly gritty, some known British Drama faces, enjoyed the performance of the main character.
