Movie: Felon (2008)…
I’ve had a note on my desktop for about two months now about this movie…so I’m deleting that note and finally posting this up. I wanted to post about this film because I don’t think many people even knew that it came out. This is a cool flick that is about some crazy events that land an ‘innocent’ dude in prison and how once things go wrong, they just snowball. This is actually kinda scary to watch, if you consider that some of the events could actually happen in real life… Anyway, this is a great chance to see Val Kilmer in a different sort of roll, and he does a really good job.
Stephen Dorff is also very good in this and I can definitely recommend this for a ‘Blockbuster’ night. As usual, I’m not saying this is some life-changing, grammy-type shit, but it’s worth the watch. And being a relatively small-time release (by today’s standards), this was a great surprise. Some brutal action scenes and the flow of the flick is pretty on point as well.
Also, that dude in the wheelchair (the narrator) from the HBO series ‘Oz’ is in this. Only in this, he’s the prison guard that is nuts…pitting inmates against each other and worse. He does an excellent job of making the viewer hate him…hehehe.
enjoy.
