Synopsis

Control (2004) is a US-Canadian thriller you can watch online on iFILM, anchored by Ray Liotta and Willem Dafoe in a story where the line between rehabilitation and experiment disappears fast. Directed by Tim Hunter, the film opens with its tagline already in play: "Sentenced to death… chosen to live… destined to kill again."

Death row inmate Lee Ray Oliver gets the needle, the witnesses file out — and then he wakes up. The offer: submit to a classified chemical behaviour-modification programme, or the execution completes for real, no audience this time. Oliver takes the deal. Dafoe plays the doctor running the trial; Michelle Rodriguez is the security officer tasked with making sure the subject doesn't slip the leash. Stephen Rea and Polly Walker fill out a support cast, each with their own reasons to want the experiment to go a very specific way.

The film's sharpest tension isn't whether Oliver can change — it's whether anyone in this arrangement is telling the full truth. A compact thriller that works best if you go in without expecting a clean resolution. Stream Control (2004) on iFILM.
