Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Kidskycom It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

Derry Herrera Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Kirpianuscus a remarkable film. for its cruel/brutal realism. for the performance of Jack O'Conell. for the atmosphere. for the science to not be only a prison story but portrait of links, faiths, illusions, drawing of honor, justice and family. dramatic and convincing, seductive and cold, it is one of films who has not chance to give its end after the last scene. because it is source of questions who are not only pieces from artistic considerations. one of films who propose a large story. about small things, about survive and about force to be yourself after many clashes. that is the start point for admire a remarkable film who could be, for many viewers, an useful surprise.

SnoopyStyle Eric Love (Jack O'Connell) is a violent juvenile who gets transferred to the adult prison or Starred Up. The first thing he does upon getting into his cell is to make a shiv. He mistakenly knocks out another prisoner and then attacks the guards in the subsequent mêlée. His absentee father Neville (Ben Mendelsohn) tries to calm him down so that he can get treated by therapist Oliver Baumer (Rupert Friend).This movie isn't big on expositions. It's very raw and unpredictable. It's also not big on pronunciation and the accent can be a little thick. Honestly, I don't think I would get the father son relationship without reading it in the description and some of the characters are confusing. I can't follow everybody but Jack O'Connell shows good command of the screen even against great fellow actors. He is a promising newcomer after a stint on Skins. He could have an interesting career.

Michael Radny The prison scene has been done to death now, but this original piece, or should I say masterpiece, has given a new light to the genre. Starred Up is a prison drama which focuses on a father and son relationship whilst giving us the usual gritty prison violence and abuse. There is never a dull moment in this movie and everything feels realistic or as realistic as it can be for someone whose never experienced prison. Nothing feels forced, no stereotypical metaphors and the clichés are kept to a minimum. Glorious filmmaking, glorious story and a glorious acting cast. Starred Up takes my vote as the greatest prison drama ever made and that's over The Shawshank Redemption which looks like play school compared to this.

Bob An I thought about giving it a ten, but then the ending and throughout the film we do not get the informations about what happened between the father and the son which I think is important for the understanding of the whole movie and the relationship between them.All the actors are doing great. Everyone seemed very believable. The camera work is good also. I had the feeling of being present there all time.The young mr Love is really great in his role. I did not see any of his movies before, but after this one, will pay attention more to his roles.All in all, really good one!
