Looking through my Blu rays last night and decided on a prison based double bill.
First up was
Cell 211 - Spanish/French production from 2009. Very good indeed, an incredibly tense and well acted story about a prison guard on his first day getting caught up in a riot and mistaken for an inmate. Brutal, bleak and brilliant.
Followed by
The much better known A Prophet - French production from 2009.
This one is often used as a 'gateway' movie to contemporary French cinema and rightly so. Regarded by many as one of the best prison movies of all time.
A classic.
