About
You may like this if you want a grim, claustrophobic sci-fi horror story with a tough prison setting and a strong central performance; Not for you if you want lots of action or a lighter sequel tone, and fans of Alien or Aliens may find the shift jarring.
Pros: bleak atmosphere; strong lead performance; tense prison setting | Cons: weak supporting cast; uneven story; effects can look dated
