[MOVIE] Shot Caller

[Josey Wales]

I caught this movie by accident on an overseas flight. Released in 2017 I'd never heard of it. It's the story of a well to do finance worker with a nice house, nice family and promising career who has a bit too much to drink one night which results in a serious accident and he falls foul of the law. He is thrown into a high security prison where his only options are to survive or become a victim. The lead is played by Nikolaj Coster-Waldau who Game of Thrones fans will recognise as Jamie Lannister.

It's a brutal, frightening and poignant watch as the lead character recedes from one way of life and finds 'success' in another.

That is a very apt description of what this film is. Ladies and gentlemen, try not to go to prison, else you will find yourself embroiled in brutality, racism, gangster culture, and many other very bad things.
