Featured review
A gripping prison movie with two brilliant actors, playing out some high drama in a maximum security prison. This is certainly a realistic and grim look at the whole system, which is pretty much replicated the world over. Willem Dafoe, is one of the finest in the business and as the hard but wise 'Earl', gives anther powerhouse performance. Edward Furlong is a young actor with a great potential and very credible here. The great Steve Buscemi, directs and thankfully stars in a cameo.
