I found this Australian film starring Scottish Ewan McGregor patchy. It follows JR (young Aussie, Brenton Thwaites) who winds up in the clink after a relatively minor crime. In there he meets career crim, Brendan Lynch (McGregor) who provides him with protection from fellow prisoners but at a price - JR's gotta help him out when they escape.
There was moments where I was caught up in the drama and thought, 'this is great!' ie. when they're in a high speed chase with actor/stunt guy Nash Edgerton at the wheel. And then there was moments where I though 'seriously?!' ie. when they try to build a dramatic moment around a romance for JR... the music builds to a crescendo that just isn't met by the actual action - the 'love story' really let this film down in my view.
There's plenty to like but this is definitely one you could leave for DVD viewing some time.
