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.

Shot Caller has been somewhat praised by fans alike for its realism picture, and acting from the leads, especially Nikolaj Coster-Waldau. The film starts off quite interesting at first and remains such due to its non-linear storytelling (as we see the transformation from Jacob to Money is great acting) then somewhat lingers in the end where we wonder what the point is.Relatively becomes boring and confusing in the final part of the film, though the first half as to how the film is set up is quite good. Shot Caller is decent but most perhaps a film for a selective audience. It did not blow me away or left me wanted more like some reviews have stated.

Not a creative story But a good one isn't this even better? I mean after all these years and different ideas taking the chance to be in pictures good directors and writers are having 2-3 years gap between their movies/screenplays to find an unique set of story to get to the viewer's bones.and at this time A director like this rises with previous prison movies which is a great obsession cause there are a lot going on in the prisons even in the most civilized countries, Ric Roman Waugh proves that even with a low budget and efficient use of resources you can make a masterpiece of the genre,in writing specifically screenplays its not only about plot its mostly about story telling I mean if good plots like inception would be cheap in story telling the whole plot could be ruined too.Shot Caller lacks the extraordinary plot but covering it masterfully with story telling which shows Ric Waugh is stepping in the right way.Oh and of course we get to Nikolaj Coster Waldau,which before this movie were mostly cheap movies kinda guy except for his Game of Thrones TV career and again another surprise he handled this role real nice,too nice that we might say we cant ever imagine someone else playing Money.He proved to be good even as a main role character hope we see him more often.

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.
