Résumés(1)
After a DUI sends him down the rabbit hole of the American prison system, successful businessman Jacob Harlon (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) is transformed into Money, a stoic, ruthless prison gangster. As he navigates the brutality of his new home, adapting to its violent codes of ethics and rites of passage that will ensure his survival, he slowly loses his previous identity and his relationship to his former life, including his wife and son. The grip of his new family, the prison gang, extends beyond the prison walls. Upon his release, chased by the law enforcement, threatened by his incarcerated protectors, Money must orchestrate one last dangerous crime. All is not what it seems. The ruthless process of fulfilling his obligations also becomes his path to sacrifice, retribution and self-definition. (Altitude Film Distribution)

Le thème est passé de mode, l’exécution est classique, on a deux lignes temporelles qui se déroulent assez lentement et je trouve que celle qui se passe au présent n’offre pas grand-chose. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau devient progressivement une pointure comparable à Madse Mikkelsen. Un bon trois étoiles, mais je ferais plus court.

A perfect prison movie with Jamie Lannister and the Punisher! Shot Caller is told in flashbacks and shows us the main character's life after his release from prison and also the life he lived in prison, all beautifully intertwined in a very raw and gritty package. The prison riot and the final scene are the highlights, suspense accompanies the whole film and there is no shortage of entertainment and also a few twists and turns. A great, slick film full of tough guys. 80%.

An incredibly lobotomized B-movie, which has about the same feel for relativized morality as a Nazi has for a bottle of Jäger. At the same time, however, it is riding a wave of sleepy macho sentiment. Almost none of the key decisions make much sense, and Waugh is redeemed only by the fact that Coster-Waldau, and especially Bernthal, can chew of the tons of clichés with a little interest. Otherwise, a complete disaster.

A great crime movie with an excellent cast. How to go from financier to murderous inmate in two easy steps. Coster-Waldau undergoes the transformation with elan. Director Roman Waugh gets the maximum out of this story. He’s good at prison movies. The best scenes are the ones with the Beast in the middle of nothingness.

The prison environment from another perspective, as Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is no criminal. Unfortunately, one event turns his life upside down and the American system throws him into a prison full of perverts, murderers, blacks and Nazis. And I am not really sure if he is mentally unstable when he gives in to the Nazis, but the screenwriters created quite some twists for him, so the audience doesn’t get bored. The biggest issue is that Nikolaj really doesn’t look like a murderer and when he does kill, he looks like a gassy newborn. On the other hand, the movie has incredible guts and the ending was truly flawless. I was deciding between three or four stars, and in the end settled for the better than average.
