Key Performances:

  Tim Roth
  
  
  
Movie Haiku:This is a dark, obsessive tale of loneliness/lust/love set in a British prison. Tim Roth is a surprisingly charismatic, albeit unconventional "leading man." And Julia Ormond proves once again that she's better at brooding than pretending to be winsome in sunny comedies like her ill-fated SABRINA remake.
