Winstone is bad ass as usual as the big daddy at a youth correctional facility but the film is sheer melodrama, lacking any real substance…

A provocative movie thats sets out to shock. Needless to say it lives up to the hype and gives us some crude and remorseless moments…

One small error in the plot on here. Behan does not befriend a gay student but a gay sailor brilliantly played by Danny Dyer…
