Shot Caller

As a matter of fact, I find it hard to watch movies lately. They all seem so commonplace... But this one really kept me going. Although the ideas are not new, they are brilliantly brought by excellent dialogues, directing and acting. A male's true role in a common family (wait till you are 50 with grown children to understand) is also depicted here with an interesting angle. I hate blowing my own horn, but even the plot got me surprised here and there which is not very common. Not for youngsters, but don't miss it.

Wow. I was wondering which good movie could be made out of a similar life situation and this movie is awesomely good! I'm angry and happy. Life can be tough if you decide to be a warrior. You make choices that can change it all just so you get in peace with yourself.

I thoroughly enjoyed this film. Superb acting. Well-directed/edited. Wonderful score, although I could see how some may find the music overwhelming- however, it's beautiful enough to take a primary role. Actors you will recognize- always interesting. If you enjoy placing yourself in someone's shoes who must make rational and logical decisions based on the circumstances of the story, you will love this film- but only if you're prepared to think with the edge that may be necessary to survive in those shoes. Well-done.
