Santiago Segura provides a powerhouse performance that in a bigger budgeted film would have been award-worthy.

Rated: 4/5

As with so many low-budget films powered by a DIY ethos, The Five Rules of Success aims more for mood and energy over crisp plotting. Too often it is noise and flash for noise and flash's sake.

Rated: C-

Oblowitz is so busy emptying out his bag of directorial tricks, any semblance of character logic or overall point get lost in the clutter.

The plot may sound derivative, but it goes in a more character driven manner that is more character study than bombastic crime thriller.

A difficult watch, but one that is visually stunning and tense

Film Daze

While this film is certainly gut-punching and punishing, it is perhaps most interesting simply due to the potentially incendiary questions it raises about prison's costs and the soul-crushing inequalities frequently wrought by the system.
