Definitely. Carlin, sorry, Regan just needed a plastic bowl and say he retaliated...

Noticed also that the false police ID Alan Ford gave him was with the name Fox, another early Winstone role.

When Reagan is being escorted to his cell carrying his bedding, it was JUST like Scum

I actually ADMIRE Lance Armstrong because when I took drugs, I couldn't even FIND my bike!

Like ANY film set in a prison with a similar scene.

And so, God came forth and proclaimed widescreen is the best.

Thought Regan was going to say:

"Where's ya tool?"

or

"Who's the Daddy Now!?"

at one point!!!!

Winstone seemed to have made himself at home in prison like he had been there before. He just needed at ask someone where was his tool.

It's that man again!!
