Felon

About This Movie

So, 'Felon' is really something. Directed by Ric Roman Waugh, it dives deep into the harsh realities of prison life. The pacing is gritty, just like the atmosphere—dark, tense. You’ve got a family man, played by Stephen Dorff, whose world flips upside down after he kills an intruder, and then he finds himself in a brutal penal system. The dynamics between inmates are raw, and the practical effects used in the fight scenes lend a visceral touch that feels real, not overly stylized. The performances are striking too—Dorff really embodies despair and resilience. It’s not just another prison flick; it’s a study of survival against a backdrop of violence and moral ambiguity.
