Fionn M @fionnmacd 3h Visceral film with fantastic performances from both leads and slick direction. Well worth it, and what an ending!! See more Dugal M @RT35325361 3h Awesome. Was on the edge of my seat the whole film See more JAMES H @MoviezGeezah 3h There is not a wasted second in its 90 minutes – it's an intense, violent and utterly gripping ride from the off. The use of phone footage was inspired and made the viewing experience feel all the more immersive and real. It contrasted brilliantly with the beautifully shot widescreen footage to create something that felt fresh and original. The portrait painted of British prisons today was absolutely convincing. Johnsson and Blyth give captivating performances with extraordinary nuance. Dee isn't some two dimensional monster - for all his violence and bravado, we see his vulnerability and humanity thanks to Blyth's mesmerising turn. Jonsson, as Taylor, achieves so much with twitches, glances, small facial movements - it's a remarkable feat. The film is incredibly claustrophobic, as might be expected, and the camera is tight to the pair of them for much of the runtime, which works brilliantly. This film was an experience!

And from a viewers perspective, at least for TV, what seems to be an accurate portrayal of what the UK prison system could look like. See more Gareth D @HiGarethDavies 4d Solid prison drama, Blyth is surprisingly good as a psychotic prison thug. Interesting format with the splashes of social media content and shot in a 4:3 aspect ratio. Enjoyable but not ground-breaking. See more MB C @MB.Cinema May 11 Wasteman is a prison drama .... It follows Taylor, an inmate nearing release, whose fragile routine is disrupted by a new arrival who changes everything. Their relationship evolves into a tense psychological battle, where survival blurs with manipulation. The film builds its conflict through quiet tension and layered character dynamics rather than major plot twists. Strong performances and a grounded atmosphere elevate the story, though some chaotic moments and rushed pacing weaken parts of it. A subtle yet intense character study that explores survival, control, and inner imprisonment...... See more Read all reviews
