Already on probation, 18 year old Michael is arrested for a small amount of cocaine (€2k worth) and sent to prison - ridiculous. There of course he becomes brutalised, while on the outside his grandfather is victimised by the same gang. It's extremely depressing and can only go one way. Undoubtedly intelligent and realistic but a real downer - fortunately it's only 90 minutes.
With Dafhyd Flynn, Lalor Roddy, Moe Dunford. Good acting.
It put me in mind of the rather more optimistic Starred Up.
