  • Tough, violent prison drama that manages to add a few twists to the familiar clichés of the genre; it would have been a better movie if it had lost its sentimental coda.

    Laughable

    I'll give you an example to demonstrate how utterly senseless this film is: Everybody in the prison knows that father wants to waste kid-killer. Yet in the middle of the night, for no apparent reason, a prison officer obligingly locks them in a room together so one can shoot the other with his do-it-yourself papier-mache handgun (no, really!). Don't rent this sorry excuse for a film if your life depends on it.
