This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place
If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
When life pushes you to the edge, you can either go forward or fail. In this case, Harlan goes forward regardless of what path he must take. It's some deep stuff. Tons of twists. Highly recommend.
Not a creative story But a good one isn't this even better? I mean after all these years and different ideas taking the chance to be in pictures good directors and writers are having 2-3 years gap between their movies/screenplays to find an unique set of story to get to the viewer's bones.and at this time A director like this rises with previous prison movies which is a great obsession cause there are a lot going on in the prisons even in the most civilized countries, Ric Roman Waugh proves that even with a low budget and efficient use of resources you can make a masterpiece of the genre,in writing specifically screenplays its not only about plot its mostly about story telling I mean if good plots like inception would be cheap in story telling the whole plot could be ruined too.Shot Caller lacks the extraordinary plot but covering it masterfully with story telling which shows Ric Waugh is stepping in the right way.Oh and of course we get to Nikolaj Coster Waldau,which before this movie were mostly cheap movies kinda guy except for his Game of Thrones TV career and again another surprise he handled this role real nice,too nice that we might say we cant ever imagine someone else playing Money.He proved to be good even as a main role character hope we see him more often.
My first review ever on here had to be for this movie. From start to finish I was just completely intrigued and felt the emotions this movie played out on screen. Excellent casting and acting from everyone and extremely realistic.
Big, impressive performance by "Game of Thrones" star Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who really embodies the unfamiliar role of a stockbroker who failed due to an accident caused by him.
