My quick rating 6,3/10. Pretty powerful drama centering around a teen that learns all about life in the prison system. Ewan McGregor does a god job here in the lead role, and really all the characters in this flick act out there parts quite well. The story of the kid being taken in under the wing of the big boss so to speak has been done before and there isn't much new here to the story. It is just a well done film all around. Also it does show off some nice scenery down here in Australia. Worth watching if you are a fan of crime/drama films, especialy those that are a bit more obscure.
