Balla S I agree with the rave reviews here. I don't know if the prisons in the US are remotely like that portrayed in the film, or how realistic it all is, but in this case I couldn't care less. Marvellously well acted by all, it had me glued to my seat from the get go. I would have given it a 5, but then I'm afraid the actors and directors will give up having accomplished the ultimate score!! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/08/25 Full Review Justin G. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau immerses himself in his character, showcasing a remarkable transformation throughout the movie. His character’s demeanor shifts significantly, reflecting the film’s exploration of compelling themes. The film emphasizes how people become products of their environment, even when they resist it. Despite knowing the long-term consequences, it’s often necessary for immediate survival. Jacob’s transformation highlights the harsh reality of adapting to survive in the present, regardless of social or financial status. The instinct to protect family motivates this transformation. The film also delves into the lengths fathers go for their family’s betterment. Coster-Waldau’s character realized he had crossed a line into becoming “Money” and couldn’t revert to his former self. He had to continue down his chosen path. The film explores the extent to which the human brain is willing to achieve a set goal. It underscores the consequences of choices and the fact that no one is above the law. Prison can break almost anyone, even lifers, drastically altering their lives. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/05/25 Full Review Daniel N Really enjoyed this. Dark and brutal. What you'd expect from a prison movie. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is brilliant. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/05/25 Full Review G B Seen it a few times, little far fetched but it makes sense for his family..... Js Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/28/25 Full Review Ian R Worth watching if you haven't already seen it. The plot is simplistic in many ways despite the twists it tries to set up. It is over loaded with machismo and has a pretentious feel to it. Some of the acting is good, not just the central character but the part played by Jon Bernthal is okay.
