Outstanding Spanish thriller
By sean1970 (42 reviews) , 17 Aug 2011[Highly rated reviewer]
First time Spanish director Daniel Monzon brings us a cracking little thriller which combines tense violent action with a realistic storyline and some good gritty performances. Don't be put off with the subtitles as the movie is in Spanish as this movie is easy to follow with plenty of tense thrilling action.
Cell 211 follows Juan a prison officer who is shown the ropes the day before he starts his new job. After an accident Juan is knocked unconscious and put in a cell until medics come, but a riot starts in the prison and Juan has to pretend to be an inmate rather than face the rioting violent prisoners. He soon becomes friends with main con Malamadre the violent leader of the riot, but when Juan pregnant girlfriend is beaten in an outside scuffle by prison gaurds Juan loses the plot and becomes the leader.
I loved Cell 211 its twisty , its violent, it has believable performances and is very well made. Side the subtitles this movie is highly recommended.- Was this review helpful to you?

Good film, spoilt by...spoilers.
By TKerr (1 review) , 29 Apr 2013Very good film, the only thing that annoyed me is that I basically knew the plot because ' The most helpful review' wrote exactly what happened in his 'most helpful review'... that would be sean1970, in future could you please tick the spoilers checkbox buddy. Quote ' Cell 211 follows Juan a prison officer who is shown the ropes the day before he starts his new job.

Must-see film
By Malamadre (1 review) , 27 Mar 2013VERY good film. Don't be put off by the subtitles. You will get so engrossed in the film that you won't even realise it's in another language.- Was this review helpful to you?
