Vinnie Jones plays a footballer banged up for throwing a crucial game. Inside, the football-loving warden sets him the task of coaching a team of prisoners to take on the all-conquering warders' side. Can Jones form a disparate bunch of lags into a winning team? Barry Skolnik's film, based on Robert Aldrich's The Longest Yard, is fast, fun and furious with, of course, the climax a suitably bruising encounter.
