I hat the 'privilege' of watching this movie as a surprise feature in a local theater, and it was close, so very close to becoming the second movie I ever walked out from. In one word: awful. More appropriate and in five words: "oh please, make it stop". I have no idea what kind of crazy befell movie executives when they decided to bring an old direct-to-video title from the US to German theaters.
The 'humor' in the flick (for want of a better word) is almost completely based on icky scenes, violence and crude sexual innuendo. Especially because of the latter this movie is not really appropriate for youngsters, which is really rather ironic since immature boys are probably the only audience that would find this insulting excuse of a motion picture even remotely funny. The rest of the world (i.e., grown-ups) will find that crude references to anal rape do not suddenly become funny if you repeat them about three dozen times. The same goes for body liquids and icky-food jokes.
Apart from that, the whole premise of the film does not work, either. The idea of having a weakling become a prison's chief bully might have looked amusing on paper. It is not, at least with Schneider as the main character. The script is bad, the acting is lousy, and the directing (fittingly also by Schneider) is atrocious. Verdict: avoid at all costs.
