This film opens with
Ed Harris beating a child abuser to death. Sadly that's where the fun ends.
twenty years later, his son gets out of jail and tries to go straight, making
semi-legit money by fighting people and getting to know the kid he didn't know
his ex was expecting.
Meanwhile Ed Harris
is still in jail himself for the paedo-slapping and, for some reason, has
become the top dog in the ariyan gang in his prison.
Is there a difference
between prison and jail? Always seems to be in Yank films. dunno, I always
assumed, over here at least, that it was just a name for a place, like Banana
Street Vs Banana Avenue or whatnot.
Anyway, Harris is the
stand out in this, very compelling presence, the rest of it is a bit beige and
formula.
