Most prison movies are essentially the same ol' story told with different characters. However, Felon manages to break this mold by authentically portraying a gritty and realistic prison system with its own set of politics and rules. The excellent performances by both Stephen Dorff and Val Kilmer brings the characters to life and the passionate direction by Ric Roman Waugh keeps the pacing on point, never stopping until the final conclusion that brings everything back from chaos. 8.4/10.
