Based on a true story, this oddly exhilarating film features an almost unrecognizable Tom Hardy as Britain’s most violent prisoner. Its arresting visuals and operatic, strangely humorous tone would appeal to fans of A Clockwork Orange. Instantly available on hoopla.

“Starred up” is British slang for the early transfer of a juvenile offender to an adult prison—in this case, to one in which his father is also imprisoned.  Completely different from Bronson, this is a grittier portrayal of prison life with great sympathy for its characters.
