Felon (2008) 8/10

Starring : Stephen Dorff, Val Kilmer, Sam Shepard, Marisol Nichols, Harold Perrineau, Anne Archer, Nick Chinlund, Nate Parker, Johnny Lewis
Director : Ric Roman Waugh
Running Time : 104 mins

When he accidentally kills a burglar who is running from his house, Wade Porter (Dorff) is arrested for murder and placed in a prison environment. Faced with three years in prison, Wade has to adjust to life inside with the worst of the worst and must learn to cope with the daily routine of violence and death.

This really did make a bleak case not only for prison life but for life in general. There isn’t one good person in the entire prison system, and poor Stephen Dorff getting arrested for murder when he’s just trying to protect his family is typical of the American justice system. This is a good film, but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who hates to see injustice prevail.
