I've never even heard of this but Jeffrey Wright was in another great prison film called "O.G." that really should have gotten him an Oscar nomination before American Fiction.

I believe this is a Netflix original, which makes a lot of sense as to why it has zero profile.

As for "O.G.", I haven't seen it yet, but it's on my list. I have a LOT of prison films to choose from!

Gotta check out my buddy Ric's Shot Caller. He also directed Felon, and you can tell that like David Ayer, he did a lot of research before setting two films in prison.

Somehow, I haven't popped my Ric Roman Waugh cherry.

Wow, that sounds a lot dirtier than I thought.
