INSIDE

Warren Murfett (Guy Pearce) is a hardened prisoner nearing parole. A gambling addict who’s in debt to prison thugs, he manipulates younger inmate Mel Blight (newcomer Vincent Miller) into targeting unhinged paedophile and child k*ller Mark Shepherd (Cosmo Jarvis), who has a $50,000 bounty on his head. Raw in its emotional intensity, Pearce credibly portrays a man caught between hope and despair who desperately wants to reconnect with his adult son. His versatility as an actor establishes him as one of the finest of our generation. Miller is also gifted in his debut as the quiet, repentant Blight. This is a gritty, bleak film featuring complex characters who have committed heinous acts, locked up in a despairing environment.
