I've been up close an personal w/ tha lifestyle. All together I've done ovr 2 decades. The movie isn't completely realistic. What is or isn't 100% don't matter. For tha most part, it's as real as its gonna get unless you're there yourselves! I'm pleased w/ tha fact that the public is getting a peek in the forbidden places that most don't believe exist. Good story. Put together in a way that it cud actually fall into place were all the pieces and people to come together and do their part .

I love him in Game Of Thrones and he really shows he is capable of stepping out of those shoes and into other types of roles. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau plays a normal everyday guy that fate gives him a bad deal. He is sent to prison and he has to learn to survive and protect his family. This is different from his current role on GOT and it is nice to see him as a lead character. He did a great job of acting and I would recommend this movie.

Very well written and acted with high power scenes and a lot of edge of the seat action. The downer to this movie is the subject. I'm not really interested in what goes on in prisons and the dynamics of low life gang members so the basic story to me was depressing. That said, it is quite a movie. There are a couple of technical holes in the plot that were curious and a some obvious technical details incorrect about the way prisons are actually organized but beyond that, a good story and a fine movie.
