Shot Caller

I think this is between a 7.5-8 star rating for me, actually been one of the tougher movies to rate for me. It’s really good and I thought the plot was good other than a few holes. Acting is great and the portrayal of prison life was interesting. I think ultimately the major theme that sticks out is how people become part of the environment they are in. I kept wondering why did he send the coordinates to the cops? That makes no sense but looking at it with a broader lens you understand that he wanted to be in prison and wanted to be the head guy. It was a really interesting movie and I thought they did well portraying many different themes. Makes you think a little which I enjoy. Recommend for crime and mob/ gang lovers.

Best prison movie

Oh my damn. This film was completely different than what I expected to be. It was absolutely incredibly made.

I went into this film completely blind (thank god) and I was just punched in the face with a stunning story about how prison changes a person completely.

I loved the way the film showed the present and the past of Jacob simultaneously and left no gaps in between giving us the full picture.

The story could’ve been done a bit differently with the whole illegal guns storyline and maybe made could’ve been more wide but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

I love finding some hidden gems to go into blindly and come back with a new experience and end up enjoying it more than a film I know about.

Overall a very well done film with amazing acting and good characters.
