thomasjay-52277 Really surprising, had no real expectations for this and was almost blown away. Giving a realistic and brutal depiction of American Prison life this film was a good watch, at times it's oacing feels a little slow and it seems to lose its way but generally speaking it's great with fantastic action sequences and completely understandable motives with deep character the 'Shot Caller' is brilliant, I highly recommend

maretteln Shot Caller (weird name, I admit) is actually quite a good prison movie. The personal story is dramatic; you can't help but feel pity for Jacob Harlon and his family who used to live a peaceful and comfortable life up until recently. At the same time it makes you feel helpless to witness how a second's lack of attention can turn one man's life upside down and makes you realize how all our possesive boastings are in vain.Maybe a bit more effort should've been put into explaining and developing the psyche of the main character; things are moving really fast and we're having trouble in grasping how an ordinary white collar man became a gang leader in such a short time. Yes, poor fellow finds himself trapped in this situation, but at the same time he seems to have adapted to it too easily. Did he always have that in him?

the_russ_show Wow. I was wondering which good movie could be made out of a similar life situation and this movie is awesomely good!I'm angry and happy. Life can be tough if you decide to be a warrior. You make choices that can change it all just so you get in peace with yourself.

aNdzelOt One of the newest I liked, really eclectic hardcore story. Just a reminder how one clumsy move can cost a friend's life and lifetime without parole for you. A very real view on life in prison, especially the maximum security one, where you can't go untouched or unnoticed. It's highly intellegently done, pushing the borders of human psychology and nature, also it defines how far a man is ready to go in order to protect the closest loved ones. Great score overall.
