Illiterate half-Arab, half-Corsican Malik enters French prison a blank slate... and leaves six years later "smarter than when (he) came in." The arresting dread of prison-life (a la the best of "Oz"), the spaghetti-western-y thrill of constantly-shifting character loyalties and double crosses, layers of ribsticking social-realist grit, and intense action... all moored by a haunting lead performance. Frenchy Jacques Audiard (The Beat That My Heart Skipped) makes hisself one hell of a prison movie. But what'chu think?

I thought it was pretty good but for fuck's sake, man. That one scene. Kinda seemed a little like Michael Corleone's story in a (very) different setting.
