    Mr. Perlman is back!!!

    I won't go into the plot but I'll just say that the frustrating thing about this film is that it isn't a full blown movie!

    Jay-Z does it again!

    JAY-Z tackles the prison system

    As soon as I saw Susan Sarandon's face I knew I was in for something deeper than just a music video. This is more like a portrait into the horrors of the U.S justice system, for people of all races.

    Everyone gives a stellar performance, but the banter between Edi Gathegi and Jonathan Tucker is classic.
