★★★☆☆Having paced the peripheries of the British film industry for over twenty years (since his 1994 debut Dirty Diamonds), director David Mackenzie appears to be on the verge of bagging his first mainstream hit. His latest feature, the gritty prison drama Starred Up (2013), comes armed with a fine cast, topical subject matter and just enough subversion of a well-worn genre stable to please those exhausted by mindless gangster slash 'em ups. Rising star Jack O'Connell (recently seen in swords and sandals sequel 300: Rise of an Empire) plays 19-year-old Eric Love, a violent and troubled teenager making the difficult transition from a young offender institution to adult prison.
