If 'Offender' has a point to make about the justice system, it fails to land the punch.
Top CriticIt's the performances that really carry this film. Cole's intense portrayal marks him as one to watch and rapper English Frank also impresses as the prison's posturing, cod Jamaican kingpin Jake.
The detail is realistic and it's a decent enough genre piece.
Waiting for Britain's answer to A Prophet, or an update of Scum? Keep waiting.
An engaging, impressively staged revenge drama with a striking central performance from newcomer Joe Cole and a strong support cast ...
A spare script and lean dialogue lend genuine power to the taciturn youngster's unswervable quest for justice, a single-minded obsession that results in some truly bone-crunching violence.
A solid revenge thriller in which Cole excels.
Ron Scalpello's brutal debut about a young offenders' institution hammers its messages home with a sock full of snooker balls.
The way the camera lingers on the lividly bruised and battered faces of his characters, plus the clichéd use of slow motion, epitomise the film's limitations.
