This was actually a fantastic raw picture of prison life. And this may be Nikolajs best acting to date, guy got some real talent.
The movie was very average but he's great I hope he gets lots of new roles

Movies that are largely set back and forth in two moments in time are mostly poorly done, and this was no exception.

It was standing out from the medicority of those kind of movies but I agree that it didn't shot above them.

hey, we got francis ford coppola over here
>>87126474
idk man it was preatty ok for me
like maybe they could have keept the whole "shot caller" is a rat untill the cops show up at the end
idk man
but i never suspected he wanted to go back to prison untill he actually sent the coordenates.
here some barbara to validate my point of view
Too breaking bad influenced tbqh.
But I love Nik
I thought it was great, really loved the prison scenes in the yard. I've tried to discuss it several times on here but it gets buried under GoT threads and Sneed shitposting.

did anyone see small crimes? a similar film with the same actor about a guy who gets our of prison and tries to put his life back together. came out this year as well i think
>>87126753
its interesting because in small crimes he wants to deny how the past had affected his future, and denying it ended up killing him and spoiling his desires. whereas in shotcaller, like >>87126668 said, he accepted his position, and actually chose to go back to prison to take care of business instead of deluding himself into thinking he could just keep living as normal
>>87126698
Breaking Bad compared to this is soap opera tier. The whole idea that if you want to survive the prison system you have to adapt and lose some of yourself only that when you get to get out you are not the same person and your loved ones look at you differently and all.
I think it had some unique charm to it.

also
>when he kills Shane for being a rat
>then sets up a trap at the exchange point
i thought i was a bigger conspiracy like FBi wanted to bust the Cartel guys or something
and then we just get to the point where he is back in prison and running the show and he does not care about being free
ye as the nigger says
>once a man is institutonalized anything is possible
another barbara webm to convice you my opinion is right
