Watch Felon For Free

You won't be disappointed!

So much average

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

The movie isn't too original. Pretty much all prison movies go like this. A guy who never committed gets into an unfortunate situation, is incarcerated and needs to learn how to survive. The movie is also based on some real incidents where prison guards were using the prisoners for their amusement in fights.But even though it isn't very original it is very well done. The acting is outstanding. A very special mention deserves of course Val Kilmer. He did a very good and methodical portrayal of Wade's cell mate who is there until the end for revenge killing. He was so good that I was almost not recognizing him. Harold Perrineau also did a great job. His character sometimes seems over the top, but Harold Perrineau still manages to make him believable. There is plenty of brutality, but I must say it wasn't the kind where I had to close my eyes. The scenes keep one watching to see how it ends. Although when it comes to the very end one somehow can predict it pretty soon.

A decently constructed feature, that did well in pulling the viewer in and getting them emotionally involved. I personally am glad that Felon has a happy ending, because the director could've easily went the other way, which in my opinion could've proved to be a bit more profound, however for the viewer, perhaps a whole lot more frustrating... In a good way as far as the film is concerned.A movie about the injustice of a system that very often seems like it wasn't put in place to serve or protect, but rather accomplish any agenda set by its architects, is sure to tug at the right emotional strings, and Felon did just that.The story is grounded, possible and very realistic, which makes it vastly relatable, because it could really happen to anyone at anytime. All you have to do with Felon, is imagine yourself in said position, and just like that, you're a part of it.Injustice, unfairness and mistreatment as a basis of a story is all good and well to conjure up, however, you need a director with the right vision, and actors that can embody that vision to give it the relevance, purpose and meaning that is necessary for the feeling to hit home. Felon displayed a fair attempt at showcasing such unfairness. 7.2/10.

a film about prison life who has a high ambition than be only story about a social circle. a touching film for the message and for touching moments. a film about details because its subject is not exactly the sin but the need to discover the world better . and that fact transforms it in a version of The Cout of Monte Cristo . and a surprise because not the violence defines it, not the brutal language or the strong scenes but the delicacy of hope, the courage to fight.and that fact does it different. maybe not special because the genre has its public, the actors, real impressive in this movie, are defines but others roles. but it must see it maybe for discover a different Stephen Dorff who explores in inspired manner the nuances of his character and for Val Kilmer in a rare role. a film of details. that could be the best definition in this case.

The hate and violence in this film is graphically portrayed in an unforgiving fashion. This led me to believe that there was maybe going to be nothing in the way of a story and that it would leave me feeling empty. That was not the case. This is a powerful film but it could be construed as immoral by some people. Some people live a life of violence by choice. It is maybe in their nature or it is just something that they have learned. Some people, on the other hand, get pulled into it and have nothing to do except fight back or be destroyed. This is what is being portrayed.I saw one comment from another reviewer suggesting that the message contained in the film is bad. I have seen another comment suggesting that it is not very realistic. I disagree. It is fiction but what is going on within the film is believable. The message that is sent out within the film is that life is not always fair... and all there is left for you to do is to keep fighting until the end or lay down and die. It is also showing that some people choose a life of violence and others are thrust into it whether they like it or not.This is a very powerful, very violent, but very moving film. Sanctimonious people who see the world through rose colored spectacles will probably not like it.
