Wow!, Bold, awesome, suspenseful, Raw
Lannisters in prison.. they'#39;ve come so far
What'#39;s up with the number 13 and 27?
Tough, rough prison movie, with a seemingly far-fetched premise...but who are we to judge? Prison changes a man, and what [spoiler] a man will do to protect his family [/spoiler] could lead any of us to do the same.
The premise is ridiculous and the much of the movie just has too many holes....especially the end. If you watch the whole thing you'#39;ll be angry with yourself for wasting your life
Nikolai Coster-Waldau, of _Game of Thrones_ fame, gives a committed and transformative lead performance that holds _Shot Caller_ together. A fairly fun, serviceable crime drama, _Shot Caller_ feels a bit overlong and often predictable, but never boring. Despite some unnecessary subplots and some rushed character transformations, it'#39;s hard not to suggest this as a perfectly fine movie night.
Very disappointed. Movies are not meant to be realistic, but this is just over the top ridiculous. Movie is longer than it should be but than again rushed with the main characters development. And to say that is similar to breaking bad? What? It is not even close! There, we can see how one man is literally transformed through time, his struggle, disease... and here there is non of that! 5/10
Pretty bad ass prison movie. It'#39;s a character piece, that (much like Breaking Bad) shows how a mild mannered everyman can transform into a criminal mastermind.
It'#39;s over. Forget I exist. **Jacob Harlon**
Gritty, depressing, electric. A Waugh specialty. I tend to gravitate to the stories he both writes and directs. It took me too long to finally watch this one. Solid stuff. 7.5
Good movie. Little slow at times but good.

Well acted. But more importantly, a not so subtle criticism of the goals penitentiary system present mostly in the US, and common to most of the western world. Is it there to punish or rehabilitate people? If the answer is to rehabilitate, the legislative (laws) and judiciary (D.A. and Courts) branches are doing a poor job. If as shown by the movie a driver with an accident DUI don't stand a chance of getting type rehabilitation when Laws, Defense, Prosecution, and Courts advise him that the lesser evil is achieved by entering into a plea with the D.A. and accept he'll be punished with jail time. Jails are not designed to rehabilitate but to contain and punish inmates, once you enter the system, one that is not designed to protect the inmate but to encourage antisocial behavior among inmates as part of the punishment. We, as a society, shouldn't expect anything but their deterioration as persons. Anyone that believes that rehabilitation can arise from these conditions, is a fool or it's lying to himself out fear that those in the inside will be out on the street one day, and the only thing that jail has done is select and prepare the worst of them, "survival of the fittest".

“A slow but watchable movie” It all starts with a man who was having a good family due to an accident ends up in jail and the things he does to survive there. He ends up joining with a gang and does drug deals as well as kill people for the reputation of this gang. After many years he is sent on parole that’s when his gang leader gives him a deal to do and the police is behind him. So if he does the deal or not you have to find out by watching the movie I have not spoiled anything for you guys. The main hero I have seen him in game of thrones I have always known that he was a good actor and he continues that In this movie too and the walking dead guy he too does a classic acting. The movie has a slow start and it is slow in between I personally felt the movie was dragged in some places but as I said its watchable. The story line was OK so was the ending. I would say just check it out guys. Notable Acting Nikolaj Coster-Waldau famous for his acting in the tv series Game of thrones and the movies Oblivion and Mama Jon Bernthal famous for his acting in the tv series The walking dead and the movies like The wolf of wall street and Sicario My Rating 7/10
