Sentenced to 23 years: he won't accept a day of it!
This is the incredible true story of John McVicar - a man who took on the entire prison system and refused to surrender. Roger Daltrey gives a powerful performance as McVicar in a film that is shocking, brutal and full of gritty violent realism. The film strongly depicts the brutal aspects of British prison life and follows McVicar into his eventual rehabilitation.

A superb performance by Roger Daltrey as the infamous British jailbird turned author John McVicar.
Along with a cast of many familiar faces this movie has an absolute gem of a soundtrack written & performed by The Who.
At the time of writing this review, the current price is £3.99 !
Even John McVicar would feel guilty taking this British movie classic at that price :-)
I've been waiting years for McVicar to be 'released' (no pun intended) on DVD & after the wait, i gotta say i'm pretty disappointed that there wasnt any special features.
I would have loved to hear a cast commentary from Roger Daltrey & Adam Faith. Even a 5 minute featurette would have been nice.
