Movie Review: Felon

Felon (2008)- Rated R for brutal violence, pervasive language and brief nudity

You can watch the movie trailer to Felon here.

This is not a movie I would recommend watching when the kids are looking. It has a lot of violence and profanity, people are killed,and there is nudity in one small part of the movie! But I do have to say it is a very good movie!

The movie is intense but very sad at parts.

This is the most realistic prison movies I have ever seen. It is sad that the things that go on in the movie are so true in real prison life.

In this drama Wade is convicted of murder after accidentally killing an intruder with the end of a baseball bat.He plead involuntary manslaughter and takes 3 years over 15-life. Although on his way to the prison he gets caught up in something which causes his sentence to end up longer than 3 years. This hardworking man now has to leave his fiance and son behind to live in a high security block housing and learn the ways of prison life. The guards would watch the inmates fight as they made bets on them and shot at them for their own sick amusement.

Wade eventually becomes friends with john who has just been transferred there from another prison.

While Wade is getting more and more time added to his sentence his wife,Laura has sold his truck, their house and everything they own just to survive. Eventually Wades ever growing sentence has caused Laura's mother to encourage her to move and end their relationship.
