After the system fails Wade Porter (Stephen Dorff), a man who inadvertently killed an intruder in his home while justly protecting his wife and son, the family man faces three years in a maximum security prison where every rule he has ever lived by is thrown out the window. To make matters worse, Porter doesn't get along with his new cellmate (Val Kilmer), most likely because the guy is an epically notorious mass murderer. In order to make it out of his sentence alive, between vicious prisoners and the sadistic machinations of the corrupt Warden Lt. Jackson (Harold Perrineau, LOST), Porter is going to transform himself into the toughest, meanest cat in the joint. This gritty actioner comes from writer-director Ric Roman Waugh, a popular stuntman who has worked on such films as UNIVERSAL SOLDIER, ROAD HOUSE, TOTAL RECALL, and LETHAL WEAPON 2.

Realistic Prison Film

A Customer from Chichester, 19th January, 2009

An action packed prison film. I found some aspects difficult to understand at first. But a very gritty story – first class.

FELON IS A BRILLIANT FILM

A Customer from Stevenage, 18th January, 2009

FELON is a brilliant, well filmed, well scripted look about prison life that pulls no punches. Brutal and touching, it should of been nominated for an Oscar.

Great film and great acting

Mark Wade from Aylesbury, 15th January, 2009

I expected this to be a typical prison movie, but am pleased to say that it was interesting and at times shocking but with quite a deep emotional aspect. The two lead actors Stephe Dorff and Val Kilmer are excellent, especially Kilmer. I was really quite moved even though this is a movie about the harsh reality of life on the inside and the brutality that comes with it. My wife couldn't watch it after about half way and if you don't like violence this isn't the film for you. Bear with it though for a really rewarding ending.
