Partially based on ex-prison officer Ronnie Thompson’s novel of the same name, Screwed centers on Sam Norwood (James D’Arcy), a former frontline soldier who finds himself working as a prison officer in one of Britain’s most deplorable institutions. As the harsh realities of being a prison ‘screw’ take their toll, Sam finds solace in booze, drugs and prostitutes, rejecting his family and slowly embroiling himself into a life he could never have imagined.
Director Reg Traviss and screenwriter Colin Butts try hard to inject verve and originality into Screwed, most noticeably in the way Traviss eerily presents the drama from the ‘screws’ point of view and in Butts’ deft approach to Sam’s character. While these aspects are refreshing to see and make for a solid setup, the fact both Traviss and Butts revert all too easily back to the clichés and contrivances of a typical prison...
