10/10
"There but for fortune....."

Tight and riveting film. No light sabers. No 3D. Just an enjoyably sparse piece of excellent film-making. Superb acting, direction and camera-work. This is one they'll watch many years from now - in film schools and history classes.

A simple morality play in a sense, but there are edges to the edges and you have to think there are many living this nightmare.

We have more prisoners per-capita than any other country and the prison guard unions are among the strongest. Prisoners are the commodity and the main messages are: This could be any of us - and - we live in a broken system that is not repairing itself.

Great movie - truly frightening story.
