Straight from the UK is the imported "Starred Up" starring "Skins" actor Jack O'Connell. The film directed by David Mackenzie follows a troubled and explosively violent teenager when he is transferred to adult prison where he finally meets his match - a man who also happens to be his father. So... this is what would've happened to Cock after the original series ended. Another thriller opening this weekend to a wider audience is called "The Calling" with Susan Surandon who plays Detective Hazel Micallef.
