Offender

Offender (2012) is a British revenge thriller by Ron Scalpello you can watch online on iFILM. Tommy Nix, a twenty-year-old London labourer, loses everything when a gang beats his pregnant girlfriend half to death.

With the police going nowhere, Tommy does the unthinkable: he gets himself arrested on purpose so he can land inside one of the country's roughest young offenders institutes — the place where the men who hurt her are doing time. Behind the walls there is only one rule, and it belongs to whoever hits hardest. Joe Cole carries the lead, with Kimberley Nixon, David Ajala and Jacob Anderson alongside him.

Shot against the backdrop of the London riots, the film carries that street-level fury into every frame: handheld camera, grey concrete, no gloss. It's built for viewers who like their prison dramas raw, in the vein of Bronson, and don't expect revenge to end clean. Stream Offender (2012) online on iFILM.
