In Reply to: Roundup of recent crime/prison movies on Blu-Ray posted by Doug Flynn on August 21, 2010 at 17:18:07:
I thought this was a superb movie. You don't have to know French politics to understand what's going on. The protagonist is a French speaker of Arab descent, and this movie is about the development of his character. He's in a French prison that is ruled by a Corsican gang. The gang doesn't accept him because of his Arab descent. The Arabs don't accept him because he's a native French speaker. The protagonist's performance reminded me at times of deNiro in Godfather II, in that he doesn't know a lot about being stret smart but is a rapid learner (in order to save his own life).
The film quality is grainy. I'm not sure what BluRay adds to this movie,. It's not meant to be a hi-rez showpiece. I didn't care.
