🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs a chilling, quasi-documentary study of institutional dehumanization, relying on stark prison architecture and a hypnotic score to build unbearable tension. It explores how violence is systematized, making guards and inmates complicit in their mutual destruction.
What lingers after viewing is a profound sense of claustrophobia and a disturbing question about the cages we build, both physical and psychological. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: John Hillcoat
