"Felon flounders in convincingly resolving its protagonist's plight." - Nick Schager

Ridden with tremendous plot holes and written clumsily this movie has very little going for it.

Val Kilmer surely has gained a few pounds since I last saw him in a movie. Apart from that a pretty good movie with an above-average story...

Very good, though a little sickening; of course it's probably supposed to be. The artistic elements are there, but kept subtle, and the way they are held back really allows the story and the characters to shine throughout. It's also a lot more believable than pretty much every other prison movie I've seen, which makes for a much more powerful and scary film overall.

Felon is a prettty unknown movie and that's a crime. The story has been told before, but the acting makes up for it. Dorff begins life in prison a sweet average family man but after crash course in prison life, he turns almost Decon Frost BADASS! You just want to hate Perrineau as Lt. Jackson and Kilmer is unrecognizable as the overweight murderer John Smith with a pocket full of zen-advice. The Kilmer-Dorff relationship is almost Yodaesque. Kilmer alone is reason enough to watch this movie.

Completely uninteresting in every way. It's like there's a program for writing prison movies. Punch in the actors and away it goes with by-the-numbers events and twists.

hapishane, amerikan cezaevi, cinayet, kötü gardiyan; wade Porter, evine giren hirsizi kazayla öldürür ve hapse düser. Hapisane ortami yalnizligi kaldirmamaktadir. Wade çetelerle örülü eyalet hapisanesine gider araçta bir cinayete tanik olur. Kendini hesapta olmayan islerin içinde bulur. Naziler, zenciler, hispanikler ve asyalilarin bulundugu cezaevinde ayakta kalma savasi verir.

This movie relies on ultra-violence, but not in a good way. Justice is lost and misconstrued and then the FBI makes everything good in the end? That is a tired plot solution tip, "Let's bring in the FBI and everything will be wrapped up and fixed." No originality. The only good thing about this movie is Val Kilmer's acting. This should have been shot as an underground cage-fighting flick. Or a futuristic fighting version of Stephen King's "The Long Walk".

Nice

Val Kilmer great as always. The story and feasibility of it was a little out there, but still enjoyable.
