I think I put this in the queue just cause I was getting everything Defoe. Then when I realized it was a prison movie I regretted it, but it was still ok for me. The Lurie score was the best part. I liked the very little bit of setup so we kind of have to discover who the characters are on our own, but then they do some clumsy ‘I’m not a punk’ type development that took away from that. It was pretty funny how far out of their way they went to explain it was not sexual. And de-fanging Earl in that way kind of de-fanged the whole movie. I would have liked it if they kept things ambiguous and there was more of a possibility that Earl was a scumbag just waiting for his chance. When the ending turned to all about escape it got pretty boring.
