About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a gritty, uncomfortable true-story prison drama with bursts of combat and a heavy focus on survival and addiction; Not for you if you need fast pacing or crowd-pleasing action like Unforgiven.
Pros: gripping true-story intensity; immersive prison atmosphere; powerful lead performance | Cons: very slow pacing; repetitive scenes; limited fight focus
