Wade has been involved in prison gang struggles since he was on the prison car. Coupled with the paranoid management of prison guard Lieutenant Jackson, prison life is in panic all day long.
With Smith, a life imprisoned prisoner stayed in the same room. Wade seems to have gradually found a balance in prison politics. But in the end, Jackson's retaliatory nature caused Jackson to add six years of imprisonment because of difficult to reconcile relationships such as gangs and prison guards.
Facing the chaotic life brought to his wife and children, with Smith's "assistance", Wade was exempted from the increased punishment by exposing the dark side of Jackson's management.
Generally speaking, the whole plot does not deviate from the usual routine of prison movies. The excessive plot conflicts are also a bit deliberate. The indoctrination of consciousness in some places is relatively pessimistic. However, the film as a whole has not been too artistically modified. It is natural to avoid, so the whole is still a lot of shock, and it also condenses the humanity and social contradictions contained in prison films. Of course, this "humanity" and "society" comes from a world strange to normal people, but the essence But it applies to everyone.
I have to mention that Val Kilmer, who played Smith, showed his youth in "High Aspirations" with Tom Cruise more than 20 years ago, although he could not be appreciated before. Now the latter can stabilize his first-line status by selling his daughter's photos, pedaling on the sofa, and playing cool for decades; this is in stark contrast to his bloated body shape and the absence of the screen for many years. But I still want to say that even if this role shouldn't bring him any mainstream attention, I still appreciate the power and penetration it shows.
