One of the most powerful, and interesting prison stories since American History X, Shot Caller is eye-opening and brutal. The story shines a huge spotlight on the 'how to make a criminal' nature of modern prisons.

An intricately tapestried character study of a way of life as well as an individual... [Ric] Waugh weaves the past and the present into a calculating and riveting thriller that not only keeps the characters on their toes, but the audience as well.

Behind The Lens
Rating: 3/5 --
If you imagine Andy Dufresne embarking on a hyper-violent gangland crime spree, you've got the premise of this thriller about the corrosive power of prison.

Time Out
Rating: 4/5 --
My expectations here were tepid. But Shot Caller turns out to be a really taut, tense, prison-set thriller, a little like Jacques Audiard's A Prophet and longform television such as Breaking Bad or The Wire.

On many levels, Shot Caller makes no sense whatsoever.

Rating: 2/5 --
It seems to glamourise the violence within the prison system, falling back on lazy stereotypes and suggesting that shivving your way to the top can be excused if you have a noble aim.

The film is aiming for tough edges, but it's essentially very vanilla.
