This movie was an eye opener. This poor guy who was protecting his family from the evils of the world gets screwed by the laws of the land! He ends up in a prison where no rules apply except the rules of the inmates. The warden guy is evil and twisted, the guards are indifferent, and the whole place is running itself into destruction. Val Kilmer was actually good in this movie. He got into his role. He shows a human side in his character. It is all about “Family.” It shows how far a person will go to protect their family. It also shows what a person will do if they believe they have lost their family. As wierd as it may be, this movie was about family, unity, friendship, and trust. That is what I got from it. It is worth watching. It makes you think about yourself and what you would do under the same circumstances.
