kaia0132 First and foremost, when will the film industry learn that trans women are WOMEN and not men playing dress-up. This film is not overtly mean to trans-women, but completely goes on to reinforce all stereotypes of trans women. It does nothing except make a joke of the matter. Matters of transgender women and men should never be a joke, but this film uses them to try and get cheap laughs.I did like there wasn't a truly good protagonist. This is the part I like. A bunch of darkness in a world of darkness.Overall, barely watchable even with a hot main character. Was OK to waste 90 minutes on a sick day with. It isn't that I wish I could have my 90 minutes back, but this film was solely a time-waster to distract me from my illness, and nothing more.

MisterE2108 I watched this film on a whim, didn't think much of it when I viewed a trailer of it. Let me tell you, although it does have some dramatic elements, 'K-11' was hilarious, especially during the beginning stages of the main character's introduction to a whole host of drug addicted inmates. Kate del Castillo (Mousey) was totally outrageous and fun to watch, trust me you'll understand why once you see her in action. Yes it was obvious K-11 was short on budget, but hey, they made due with what they had and did a good job considering. K-11 did not lack on the entertaining factor due to the various wacky characters, which is why I'm not bashing this film. I could guarantee you the cast had loads of laughs during filming. K-11 is not gratuitous, violent or vulgar as it could have been, but still manages to make you 'drop jaw' a few times throughout the film. So in my opinion, see K-11 for entertainment factor. So-called real film critics will pan this film, but don't let that sway you from viewing it. It's really not all that bad as they (real critics) may lead you to believe.

hannah_a_lovefilm I'm no film critic, a media student yes, but I've never written a review before, to be honest I've never needed to. Usually every film I come across can be expected to have hundreds of reviews by users on IMDb, most far better than any I could ever write. Disappointed by the lack I found when reading up on K-11, I decided it was time to watch the film, and share my experience. I had the usual expectations going into this film in terms of the prison film genre. It's set in a prison, there will be violence, drugs and rape. There will be top dogs, underdogs, minions, and those just trying to survive. What I wasn't expecting from the directional debut of Jules Stewart was such a captivating story. The interesting scenario our main character Raymond Saxx finds himself in, the characters that surround him and the interesting dynamic of K-11 make for a sometimes difficult but ultimately rewarding experience. I found it an important tale to tell, unlike most films out there. It had thought and meaning behind it, and the actors truly brought the film to life. Would I recommend those of you curious about this film to watch it? That's a definite yes.

DameFlux I will write a review but what we have here is an amazingly American "pile on" by the press. What I realize after having seen K-11 is that virtually none of the critics who gave this film zero stars even saw it. If you see the term "CAMP" or "EXPLOITATION" or here them claiming "it couldn't decide what it was" you know that those critic's wrote a review on the trailer and not the film. This film has one problem only to them , Jules Stewart is Kristen Stewart's Mom . They cant get to Kristen so they attack Jules. They attack her even after Kristen was intentionally NOT cast in K-11 http://gawker.com/5990662/kristen-stewarts-mom-wanted- her-to-play-a-character-thats-raped-repeatedly. Interviewers will start asking about the film and then turn to Kristen , helpless in their own lack of imagination and drawn finally to a personality that blinds them to everything around them. Years from now when Kristen is no longer a young star people will re-examine this film. Kristen is not even in this film , intentionally. The press lie, that is what they do. K-11 is a straight film, not exploitation or camp. Portia Doubleday ,Goran Visnjic , DB Sweeny and most of all, Kate del Castillo, are brilliant. So what has the critics babbling ? They can't put it in a box. They use the term "its like " because they need something to compare it to. Its a great little film that you should compare to every great directors first films because it is vastly superior to Canmeron's "Piranha Part Two: The Spawning" ! Its an incredibly good first film. Making a film of this kind for a first time director is virtually impossible because everyone "knows better". Jules stuck to her guns, finally taking the film back from her first editor and recutting it to the original script. The films most memorable quote "Bad things happen to bad people" . If that were true a few critics here would spontaneously burst into flame. This is a great little film that stands on its own and the cast and crew did a terrific job.
