Trivia
Jon Bernthal's character; Shotgun, has a tattoo on his neck that says PEN1. It stands for Public Enemy No. 1. PEN1 is a white street gang from Orange County California.

Goofs
Before his capture towards the end, Money internally conceals a capsule containing a razor. Given that following his arrest he would still have had to go through a trial and processing, it's hard to believe that he could have successfully concealed this for the weeks or months this would have taken.

Quotes
Bottles: The fact is, we all started out as someone's little angel. And a place like this forces us to become warriors or victims. Nothing in between can exist here.

Top review

9/10

thoroughly enjoyable

Strongly recommend watching this, very strong performances from all of the cast. Good score, solid cinematography and a story line that got me hooked from the start and one that I don't doubt for a second has happened numerous times around the world.

Will watch again (because that's what i do when i like a film).
