- An implausible thriller, given little sense of reality but affording opportunities, readily taken, for violence.

  Great
  
  This is my fav JCVD film that I have seen so far. If you like a gritty prison based action flick then this is for you.

  Prison drama
  
  I found this film too violent . Having watched The Green Mile, I expected a similar theme, but I was disappointed with the storyline .
