Review: Stoic (2009)

Eddie is growing up..mostly outwards

You have to be something of a Stoic to sit through this film, I actually had a look at it because it was made by HBO (usually means a big tick) and it starred Edward Furlong who was the Terminator II boy then the trainee nazi skinhead in American History X.

The whole film is set in a prison cell (something of a regular thing for HBO if you have seen the Oz series) and a dispute that develops over the course of a night. Horrible things ensue as you might expect with men caged up like rats and this is not a film for the faint hearted. You can feel the suffocation and caged rage as the films events unfold.

I will not ruin the film for you by explaining what happens, but this is one film that goes someway to explaining why some men act the way they do in Gaol or at least tries to.
