Movies like Wasteman

“Wasteman (2026) is a British 2020s crime-thriller that stages a parolee's moral crisis inside a compressed prison environment. It frames a parolee's choice between self-preservation and loyalty with high-contrast chiaroscuro, close framing, and slow-burn pacing to emphasize institutional pressure. Wasteman foregrounds character-level moral calculus and argues that survival ethics inside custody reveal broader social frictions.”
