Powerful, Mesmerizing, No holds barred emotion

See it if ...tragedy of consequences of motives not being understood, of nature of faith, of falling on one's sword, set in prison. Beautiful language

Don't see it if - you may never hear the f word used so lyrically again - stunning acting, grim circumstances. Who is favored with salvation?

Absorbing, Intense, Great acting, Great writing, Edgy

See it if Realistic prison drama with outstanding acting from newcomers. Violent outbursts create threatening mood.

Don't see it if Very gritty outlooks of caged men. Pessimism abounds in the mind of a serial killer. This is a downer, but that makes it great.
