I was actually prepared to give this a decent review, but something about it didn't sit well with me. The original treated the prisoners like human beings, and you genuinely felt like shit when one of them went down. In this remake, it's pretty fucking obvious who the director wants us to care more about. Black female prisoner die? Fuck it, show it in real time from 40 feet away. White psychologist die? Falling snow, doves, slow motion, and sad piano music. Bad politics.

Sometimes movies that contain no nudity whatsoever are made to be played after 11pm and there's nothing wrong with that.

It's like they watched The Rock instead of the original, stole the concept and half-assed that villains' character development. The Ja Rule rap song over the credits is so bad it's good (only to laugh at).

Though I was down enough for the ride to stay engaged the whole way through, it didn't have a lot going for it other than constant bursts of action. I didn't realize it was based on a book or that it was a remake 30 years in the making, but good lord, I don't think I've ever seen a more insultingly obvious plot twist. It's hinted at half a dozen times in super obvious, hamfisted fashion. The final shot (which is bad) is held for so long that it seems like a glitch. I dunno why I enjoyed this...

Not that the original needed a remake, this was well done, some great acting talent, intense and action-packed.
