Kolby A Love this "head-banger" of a movie. If you know, you know. Great acting from pretty much everyone and with a heck of a plot. Slow-burns are the best. The direction and the acting really help put you IN the movie yourself! Such talent to pull that off, like John Carpenter! A+ Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/15/25 Full Review John S I’ve relied on RT for many years to advise me on the quality of movies. For the most part, it’s been reliable. I have never written a review, but after wasting 2 hours of my time on this garbage of a movie, I felt compelled. Horrible acting, horrible stunt work and fight scenes, and just a total waste of time. One of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. RT gave this movie a 90? Someone got paid off. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/20/25 Full Review Donnie G This movie is unrealistic. Prison is not like they portrayed it at all. Federal inmates wear brown khaki uniforms. Not blue. That cell he was in was a SHU cell and you never get a single man cell. Makes it hard to take any of it seriously. Vince Vaughn is good but not a good movie as critics would suggest. If I hadn’t been to prison I may have enjoyed it more. Idk Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/25 Full Review Niki E I thought this movie was a must-see, it painted Vince Vaughn in a different light compared to other movies he acts in. Definitely more bad ass than normal, however, the only thing that really had me questioning the budget for the film was at the very end when they used a mannequin in his place. The fight scenes, blood and story line were all good Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/25 Full Review Jonathan K Okay I didn't realize this was grindhouse until after watching it. Probably should have been obvious given the over-the-top violence, but I thought it was just going to be an extra-brutal drama. The coloring is awful. Maybe it was the stream I watched, but I think this is just how it was filmed -- like a muted filter with low contrast. I get that it's trying to look grim and gritty, and it does... but it also just doesn't look good. It's like someone slapped on the Gingham Instagram filter and called it a day. The script’s a mixed bag -- some corny moments, slow spots, and a plot that feels way too convenient. But hey, it’s grindhouse, right? The acting is pretty rough, but I suppose that's to be expected as well. And that final headshot? So laughably fake -- is that part of the genre or just really cheap production? Honestly, I’m not sure why I'm not giving this a 1-star rating. Maybe I’m just a sucker for an antihero who is principled. Once I realized this was grindhouse, it made a lot more sense. I was probably supposed to laugh at the ridiculousness of it all. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/11/25 Full Review Neil J I am not sure if this was a spoof, or some attempt at humor. The special effects made me think its awfulness was on purpose. Attempted humor or serious movie, either way it was terrible.
