Five things the film does right:
1. The most irritating character gets chopped up first.
2. The gore is genuinely disturbing, this is not a film for the squeamish.

2. Yes, we know they're in fear for their lives, but there is some serious overacting here from the potential victims.
3. The film LIES to us... it says that the best holiday a young offender in custody can hope for is a week away collecting scrap metal from abandoned railways, when the truth is probably more along the lines of Sun, Sea and Surf in Spain. At the taxpayer's expense of course...

I dunno, I reckon I've seen far more fearful specimens staggering about my town centre on a Saturday night. Mostly wearing Crocs and ill-fitting boob tubes. If you didn't laugh, you'd...
5. The resale value for it on eBay could be higher...
That's it. I'm off down the pub for some lemonade and a packet of hairy pork scratchings. Care to join me? ;) 5/10
