Suburbanite Ron is spoiled, young and not overly worried about the marijuana charges leveled against him. But, after being made out to be a drug dealer, he faces a five-year jail sentence in San Quentin State Prison. Physically frail and unaccustomed to his rough surroundings, Ron is primed to fall victim to sexual predators and bullying guards – that is, until he's befriended by Earl, a veteran inmate who finds meaning in protecting the vulnerable new kid.

Undeniable cast, great screenplay, & solid directing. Intense indie that would have benefited from a bigger budget and more graphic realism.

Una buena historia, el desenlace no termina por convencer.

Valtteri Kauraoja

Unfocused and simple filmmaking dent a realistic and interesting prison drama based on the great novel by the incredible Edward Bunker

Solid flick with a great cast but the story has a tendency to jump at an erratic pace.

Fantastic look into the prison life with great performances throughout. Not enough story for the run time, but still a really good movie.

Story of father son feelings developing. Beautiful and does not try to be something it isnt

Good prison movie with all-star cast, not to complex but good

This is actually a pretty good adaptation of the book. Edward Furlong doesn't even ruin it. Willem DeFoe is great, as always. Prison drama.

This is just okay. If you want a good Buscemi directed movie watch Trees Lounge.

It's fine, but for a prison drama doesn't quite go as far as it could
