Everything is too extreme. But there's a core of honesty here.

Here we get everything nasty piled up like a great bag of detritus, and hardly a hint of anything positive at all.

No matter how hard it tries, Screwed can't escape the shadows of the very best prison dramas it's trying to emulate.

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.

Watchable collection of prison movie clichs, enlivened by strong performances and pacey direction.

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
