Malik el Djebena, who is condemned to six years in prison, cannot read or write, but soon figures out the politics of the prison. Though Malik is only 19-years-old, the leader of the Corsican gang who rules the prison corners him and gives him certain 'missions' to carry out. He quickly gains the confidence of the gang leader, as these assignments begin to toughen him up. But Malik soon develops some plans of his own.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

the usual boring, insufferable crap. No new ideas. submitted by Tassos on December 7, 2021, 7:54am punk goes to jail, punk gets beat up by the jail mafia and is made to kill and run other errands for them. Then he kills them, and he feels better. WHat a load of 100% pure fertilizer.

SO why did you borrow this POS, you'd ask? Because the bloody morons at IMDC listed it among the best 1,500 foreign films. THat is often the only reason I borrow DVDs, I go down the list and order them. Usually 1 in 10 is any good.

Solid submitted by jibkidder on June 16, 2022, 11:54am This is a well made, enjoyable prison film from the French auteur. Not really much new ground covered here, just a well made film. I hear it is. getting an American remake, which I will skip.
