Synopsis:

From IMDb: “A troubled and explosively violent teenager is transferred to adult prison where he finally meets his match – a man who also happens to be his father.”

Poster: C-

Review: A rosy hue of a shirtless man in prison might appeal to a certain demographic, but that demographic isn’t going to be sold on the film by this design. It doesn’t give a hint at the meaning of the title, nor does it suggest that there’s a purposeful film behind it.

Trailer: B

Review: With a trailer like this, critics’ plaudits matter since otherwise it would be difficult to know if the film was really that good. There are some hints at prison politics in the trailer, which give it some intrigue, but it otherwise seems like just another random film about disagreeable people being mistreated in prison.

Oscar Prospects:

None.
