Watch Starred Up For Free

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Powerful

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

An emotionally driven film. The storyline is unpredictable, but it left a lot of important questions open. That is why gave it only 7 star. There is a lot of violence in the movie, but it takes place in a prison environment so I do would rather label it "drama" than an action movie.

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.

I always voted for UK film productions, and this is one tiny example of the many that are out there.Starred up is a wicked movie that explores the prison system of the United Kingdom.By the time you're done watching the movie you can certainly spot out differences between American and UK prison systems; especially if you had studied them in full depth (in sociological matters to be precise).Overall, the acting from all characters was remarkable and I really got a sense of being in a UK prison just by watching the movie.The directing of the film is extraordinary; a jolly good job to them Britannic artists.

Jack O' Connell seems to be the rising star of cinema at the moment . Starring in the critically acclaimed British thriller '71 he went on to star n the Oscar bait big budget Hollywood movie UNBROKEN . With this earlier film from last year STARRED UP we see the film that brought O'Connell to the publics attention where he plays imprisoned violent thug Eric Lee Now I'm sure Jackie boy is a great guy in real life and is more than a little embarrassed about all the hype involving his rise to stardom and this is one of the many problems with STARRED UP- it's difficult to buy in to the brutal nihilistic persona of Love as played by O'Connoll . Okay I'm the first to stick my hand up and say I'm prejudiced by Alan Clarks 1979 film SCUM which is the be all and end of all of British prison cinema and SCUM gave birth to the legend that is Ray Winstone . Even watching SCUM in 2015 where Winstone is a national institution you're never aware that it's a well known actor playing a character called Carline - Carling is Carling a well rounded individual who exists in the real world . You never get the same feeling with Love or any of the other characters who you are painfully aware are merely plot devices played by thespian luvvies in a rather clichéd film with an obvious redemption plot at its heart and no amount of shouting "FAHK" and "KANT" can change this and it's a very poor showing from director David MacKenzie and screenwriter Johnathan Asser leave no stone unturned in the cliché stakes . What makes it even worse is the ridiculous ending which jars with the rest of the film . Okay it wasn't a great film up till this point but was relatively consistent and did try to emulate realist tones but the whole film collapses due to over the top and very silly ending . One can understand O Connell getting a lot of praise for his role by some critics there's little else to praise
