j F The pacing was jumpy, and the action was often brutal. But engaging, and had a few tender moments behind bars. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/16/23 Full Review Stephanie L Joe Cole always plays his role to a T, he is a perfect actor. Great movie, disturbing at some parts but great movie. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/13/23 Full Review Charlie L This film is a spiritual experience. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/20/23 Full Review Audience Member I didn't really enjoy the style of this one as you're thrown into a story that bounces all over the place and you have no back story of what's going on or who the characters are. Some narration would have helped to make the flow of the story better. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Film coraggioso, tratto dall'omonimo romanzo, si dimostra un ottimo prodotto con peculiarità uniche. La scelta di non tradurre la maggior parte dei dialoghi è precisa e clamorosamente riuscita, rende perfettamente il senso di smarrimento e di ansia a cui era sottoposto il protagonista. Gli aspetti tecnici funzionano meravigliosamente; le sequenze di combattimento, gli ambienti della prigione e le dinamiche dei personaggi sono eseguite perfettamente; così come la fotografia. Sicuramente il punto debole è il percorso del personaggio, che più che redenzione, trova una continua lotta interiore e contro gli altri, con brevissimi lampi di calma. Azzeccata la scelta di prendere veri ex carcerati; in linea con il film, garantisce di migliorare ancora le ambientazioni e gli aspetti tecnici. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member very difficult to watch at parts, but a quite accurate depiction of thai prisons from what i am to understand from documentaries and such. i was at first a bit peeved that they didn't include subtitles for the thai, but i realized that they added more and more of them as the protagonist learned how to understand it himself, which is a nice touch. the fight sequences were also scaled in this way : blurry and unclear at first, but more intense and focused as he learned to ~discipline himself. this movie is really great, but be warned that there is a lot of physical and sexual violence. i also liked their approach to the transgender women in the film, as it seemed they were respected and not stigmatized in any way.
