This film is destined to be called a classic.
I would suggest that this film is watched by everyone who likes crime/prison/drama/oh hell everyone who is old enough.
Yes it is in french, yes it has subtitles. Do not let that put you off.
The story is compelling, the direction sublime and the acting magnificent.
I predict big things from Tahar Rahim (Malik in the film) as his portrayal of a teen who learns what he has to become to survive is jaw droppingly astounding.
I just hope that America doesn't feel the need to do a remake in the English language. It's not needed or wanted. This is a classic.
