GOOD: great acting, great cinematography and creative visuals, interesting characters, great story, feels extremely authentic (they hired real ex-convicts as the extras and consultants) OF NOTE: One particular scene is extremely bloody and realistic BAD: female characters do basically nothing

Gripping and insightful character study manages a difficult balancing act of depicting the gradual hardening of Rahim's "innocent" into a brutal kingpin, set against the relentless, never ending tediousness of life as a long term prisoner. Beautifully performed by all, with a mesmerising supporting part for Arestrup as the by turns repulsive and irresistible prison crime lord. A galvanising and hypnotic experience, which arguably loses some of its power when it ventures outside the prison gates.

Solid crime/prison drama. Excellent acting all round but Tahar Rahim carries the picture so impressively as the lead. Definitely has some pacing issues as while the two and a half hours aren't uninteresting a tighter and better cut would surely have been possible. For me A Prophet simmers tantalisingly throughout without ever boiling over into the greatness it occasionally promises, but it's still well worth watching if you're a fan of the genre
