I think constantly writing scripts based on the violence behind prison doors has finally clogged the mind of Preston A. Whitmore, frying his membrane into two pieces. The first piece only responds to violence, and the second to homosexuality. Seriously, ninety percent of footage showed the actors, naked as the sun, showing their asses like a soft porn snuff film. The other ten percent involves your usual jail house rock film - blood, fists, disputes, and corrupt prison guards. I don't know what is more disturbing, the actual constant showing of asses, or the poor writing and directing abilities of Preston A. Whitmore. Do not watch the movie if you suffer from suicidal tendencies - watching this movie might push a person off the edge. I guarantee this appalling attempt to be creative will give you the strength to go all the way and pull the trigger.

I saw the movie recently and I was pleasantly surprised. Yes the movie has a common plot line and the characters were somewhat believable. The thing I liked about it most was that for some people, it took them out of their box.Boris Kodjoe is always playing a basketball player or some type of athlete. This role was something different. I applaud him for trying to come out of his comfort zone and trying something else. I also noticed that Regan Gomez-Preston can truly play the girl next door. I am used to her being a goody two shoes, but she reminded me of a few people that I know on the streets. Hats off to her too.The whole theory of an eye for an eye is not relatively new. It is something that we can all identify with. I did feel that the writers and directors tried to put a little twist on it. There was symbolism and a little bit of artistic creativity thrown in. The ending was not what I expected. It was actually the best part of the movie. I recommend this as something to watch on a Saturday night when someone is in the mood for a little action, but something that is not too violent.

I just saw this movie and was bored beyond believe.The story is without any depth. A boy gets accidentally shot, even the involved drug dealers do not know how that happened. They get some years in prison for the drugs.The father of the dead boy is left behind, his wife has died too some time ago. All he got is his revenge. So he beats up a cop to get into jail to say hello to the two "muderers" of his son.The movie did not show the motivation of the characters. You see the father drinking alcohol, but you do not feel his pain. The idea of following the guys into jail is so absurd, that it leads to my low rating. To build a complicated weapon like a pistol out of paper instead of a simple one like a knife out of a piece of metal doesn't make any more sense to me.The situation in the jail is shown as it is like a normal average us-American jail, but I can only hope that it isn't.In the end I was left with the question what this was all about. I don't know.

i think dong hard time was an excellent movie, Michael K Williams a.k.a Omar from The Wire was great i have seen a lot of prison movies and this one was the most believable definitely a classic with a great cast and great story line. Every father can relate to the pain he was going threw and would probably do the same thing he did The character of razor was a very important character to the story line and deserved recognition at the end of the movie, the fight scenes were very intense between dirty curt and Boris , i hadn't seen a fight scene that good in a movie in a long timea must see movie
