I saw this movie in 2020 on Netflix, and I had notice some actors that would be famous later in life. But this movie seems to be just a low budget one, with poor acting and inconsistent writing.
The sadness of Mike for losing his son simply doesn't convince. And his constant pokerface while in prison looks like a school play's actor throwed into a movie.
Some plot issues doesn't help as well. How Mike let a police officer paralytic waist down only by punching his face?
And how does he makes a gun only with paper? And how none of the guards notice the silly hideout of this gun?
To finish my review: Durty goes to jail as a street drug dealer and comes out as a well succeeded man, with no reason, with suit, a big car and a happy family.
Well, there's a lot of holes in this plot. It's not the worst movie ever. There's some redemption of a bad guy in the end, and I always appreciate this.
Well, if you see it with low expectations, you should be fine with it.
