Felon

Stuntman turned writer and director Ric Roman Waugh made a riveting prison drama with this effective thriller. Stephen Dorff gives a solid performance as a family and business man who ends up in prison after killing an intruder in his home. Once in the prison, he's forced to change to survive the violent guards and inmates that also threatens his relationship with his wife and child. Waugh hits the right notes with the right pace about a man's journey into hell that's the US penal system. The strong supporting cast includes Val Kilmer, Sam Shepard and Harold Perrineau.
