Philip French Guardian Everything is too extreme. But there's a core of honesty here. Jun 5, 2011 Full Review Anthony Quinn Independent (UK) Rated: 2/5 Jun 3, 2011 Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard Here we get everything nasty piled up like a great bag of detritus, and hardly a hint of anything positive at all. Rated: 2/5 Jun 3, 2011 Full Review Jamie Neish HeyUGuys No matter how hard it tries, Screwed can't escape the shadows of the very best prison dramas it's trying to emulate. Aug 14, 2018 Full Review Allan Hunter Daily Express (UK) Screwed may be based on the true-life experiences of former prison guard Ronnie Thompson but it seems to serve up every available clich from the handbook of tough nut British prison dramas. Rated: 2/5 Jun 3, 2011 Full Review Matthew Turner ViewLondon Watchable collection of prison movie clichs, enlivened by strong performances and pacey direction. Rated: 3/5 Jun 3, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member Film carcéral côté matons. Pas mal. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member I like all the actors in this film so I expected something great. But it was a slight disapointment to be honest. 2hours of an old fahioned jail with a guard who keeps sniffin drugs basically. The book is loads better I would recomend that instead Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member a top film showing how twisted it is in the bin good movie understand or rather overstand this!!!
