Review of A Violent Man

I watched this film and appreciated the storyline and acting. Despite being filmed mainly in one prison cell, the movie keeps you engaged as you try and figure out what happened and why it happened. I'm not sure I figured it out.

The filming includes scenes that are only happening in the main characters head. You end up questioning which scenes are real.

Much is left for the viewer to interpret.

Who is he in prison for killing? Why did he kill them? How many has he killed in prison?

I hope never to end up in prison. The rules to follow and the consequences if you don't are clearly shown.

Alot of time is spent on discussions with his legal council.. Would they let a female on the wing in his room? Is this all in his mind?

HIs meeting with his daughter is harrowing. Seriously upsetting. The acting in this scene is truly amazing.

Is he a violent man? Is he a sociopath?

There are some very disturbing scenes in this movie. It is certainly worth watching. It makes you consider the harsh realities of prison life. How many people die in prison?

I intend to watch it again and pay closer attention to what is said because you have a lot of time in prison to consider your situation.
