It's both flat and overheated.

"Imprisoned" doesn't claim it's based on a true story, but it also doesn't dissuade anyone from thinking that it might be.

The Hollywood Reporter

Although certainly well-meaning in its condemnation of capital punishment, Imprisoned is too dully executed to achieve its desired impact.

Film Threat

Clumsy and meandering, Imprisoned seems unsure of whether it's a story of personal revenge, an outcry against a corrupt regime, or a study of the Puerto Rican justice system.

Rated: 5/10

Common Sense Media

An earnest but uninspired attempt to tell a strong story about the Puerto Rican people, this prison/revenge drama comes across as a serious soap opera, flat and full of overly familiar elements.

Rated: 2/5

The real sticking point of Imprisoned ... is how little it actually cares about capital punishment as anything more than a plot device.

Slow and boring, abrupt ending with no meaning. Waste of time.

The cast was one that directors dream about, they did well! The sound and other technical aspects were great. The movie was well directed and acted. The plot, writing for the most part was not credible, specially the jail and riot etc. This movie was not supposed to be a FX/fantasy movie, it had to be credible it was not at all credible or the actions doable!

Rated 1 out of 5 stars

Really powerful film with a strong social justice component. Rides a very nice line of being thrilling and entertaining while also engaging important issues around mass incarceration. I love that many of the men in the film are currently it formerly incarcerated. Really nice work by the lead make and female actors.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
