In Hell (2003)

My Rating

Movie Info

When Kyle LeBlanc (Jean-Claude Van Damme) is prosecuted for killing the man who murdered his wife, he is sent to the most notoriously violent prison in Eastern Europe, where brutality is an understatement.

Though Kyle initially holds nothing but contempt for his fellow cell mates, it isn't long before their rage takes root in
