3.5 out of 10 Well worth a view.
Ciaran from Dublin, 07 Oct 2008
Dunno if this ever made the movies here but I got it a while back and it was quite a good movie. Dorff gets incarcerated in a place you don't wanna be in so has to 'get tough or die' (to quote the Man in Black). He cellie is Kilmer who's fat features suit this role and the two of them form a bond that gets them through the worst of it. Some tough violence may put the squeamish off but otherwise this is an enjoyable prison flick, and probably a lot more realistic than the superior Shawshank.

4.5 out of 10 Very good
Martin from Wicklow, 06 Oct 2011
It was a very interesting movie and I am glad I watched it. Even though quite a bit violent at times, the story of the movie was well told. Val Kilmer looked old though.

What's it about....
Val Kilmer, Stephen Dorff, Harold Perrineau, Jr. and Sam Shepard star in this prison drama, the story of a family man who is convicted of murder for killing an intruder who enters his home, threatening the lives of his wife and son. As he struggles to survive the violent penal system which includes a maximum-security state prison in which a corrupt lieutenant tries to maintain power and order, even if it means crossing the line.
