Reviews

somf Yes, there is little dialogue in the film, and yes the film as long odd stretched of the narrative not really moving forward, but I found it fascinating and riveting. The filmmaker does a lot of interesting things. This does not quite flow like any film that I have ever seen. It is almost like snippets of Billy's memory being filmed where long portions are cut out and we go from a an odd confrontation in a group cell to a quick cut of being in the middle of the fourth round of a fight. A combination of one giant dream and a documentary style that may be unique but that I found truly enjoyable though very depressing. I see why people hated this, but if you like the works of filmmakers a little off the mainstream, give this a try. I kept being reminded or the great Alan Parker film Midnight Express due to subject matter, but stylistically the film reminds me of The Florida Project. This isn't Rocky by any means.

j-a-julian No real plot / storyline. Absolutely no character development. Ponderous, moving at a snails pace. Insufficient dialog. No closure on the love interest. Contrived ending. This could have been a good movie but the director and cast simply blew it. Not worth your time to watch.

therealjaysmoke The fact that this is a true story just gives me the shivers! Well played by Joe Cole, the directing and casting, top notch. I actually thought they were real prisoners until I found out that they all were ex-cons. The acting was that good. One of the few movies I didn't want to end! Very very good stuff.

amh-98307 This movie's visuals and acting we were done, at an Thai actual prison no less, but it was a bit thin on substance. I saw that it was based on a true story so I expected something truly exceptional to have happened, but I was ultimately a bit let down. Basically it's just what you'd expect if you've seen an episode of "Banged Up Abroad" in a third world country. Not the most interesting film but I suppose shocking if you're completely oblivious to how some poor parts of the world work. There are some good parts and characters that make it better than average.
