JACKTOWN is an indie prison drama with little to recommend it for the modern viewer. A young guy who seems to model himself on James Dean and who spends the night with an underage girl after she lies about her age. He's subsequently sent to prison which is where the rest of the film takes place. The budget is too low to make interest out of any of the set up and it's a bit of a slog to sit through if I'm honest. Paul Carpenter is credited as a cop but I have a hard time believing it's the same Canadian actor who had a career in British B-pictures of the 1950s.
