Screwed: The Worst Movie Jobs

Gritty prison thriller SCREWED, out this Friday, 3rd June and directed by up-and-coming British director Reg Traviss, turns the genre on its head by showing life behind bars through the eyes of the guards.

In the film, James D’Arcy (Master & Commander) stars as Sam, an English everyman forced to take a job as a prison officer on his return from a traumatic tour of duty in Iraq. He quickly bonds with his hardened fellow screws but the violence and desperation he witnesses on the job and his haunting memories of bloodshed overseas draw him down into a world of drink and drugs – a world in which he is increasingly alienated from his family.
When a confrontation with the prison authorities on the inside and the fatal shooting of a fellow officer on the outside lead Sam to the realisation that the watchmen may be as corrupt as the prisoners they’re paid to watch, he becomes embroiled in a potentially deadly game of cat-and-mouse against the background of a full-scale cellblock riot.

Screwed is produced and co-written by the man who lived it, Ronnie Thompson, and directed by Reg Traviss (Joy Division, Psychosis) and in cinemas this Friday.

So to celebrate the release of SCREWED in cinemas nationwide on Friday, we take a c loser look at what are probably the world’s worst jobs as depicted on screen:

Stuck in a dead end job you’re not happy with? Count yourself lucky that you don’t have it as bad as these guys from the world of film…

PRISON OFFICER IN SCREWED

You’d think that after fighting in Iraq, any job would be an improvement on safety but this is not the case for James D’arcy’s character Sam in new prison drama, SCREWED. Placed as a prison officer, Sam is thrown into the world of prison life and is exposed to life under the radar of an inner city jail… don’t think most would be too up for it to be honest!
