Movie Info

Much of this absorbing, grim psychological thriller is set within Brooklyn's Kings County House of Detention and follows the moral downfall of an idealistic, straight-arrow black correctional officer, 36-year-old Paul Lamont. Strongly believing in prison reform yet horrified by the never-ending amount of criminals freed by the ineffectual justice system, Lamont dreams of becoming a lawyer and working for change. His humanity, honesty and rigid enforcement of rules does little to endear him to

Unrated, 1 hr. 30 min.

This ambitious but unsatisfying chronicle of a correctional officer played in the dramatic competition of the Sundance Film Festival.

Lacks insight though it's full of psychological implications.

Turns into the narrowest of unsatisfying melodramas.
