Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Doomtomylo a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
Gary The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.
iamrioto When we have the time my wife and i watch movies together. The thing is we don't have much time since the birth of our 4 month old son. So when we watch a movie, it better be good. My wife had no interest in watching shot caller so i decided to watch it on my own. I was an hour in and my wife comes downstairs and catches a few scene's and guess what... ''this looks good'' damn right it looks good! Normally i would have finished the movie but i loved everything about shot caller that i had no problems with rewatching this movie.so shotcaller,I loved it. The story, characters, actors, setting and music were top notch. It was very interesting and emotional to how Money turned from an upperclass working guy to the guy with the keys. His choice to join the AB was the worst choice he could have made. Every action he took was to protect his family yet every action drove him further away from them until there was no turning back. Imagine how that must feel, you love your wife and kid and you are forced to do horrible things to keep them save, but if you do, you will never see them again, dude that goes right into the feels. I'm a dad myself and i can't imagine how much pain and suffering money feels inside. The scene where he has to kill a ab snitch was powerful, he didn't want to do it but had no choice. After he killed the guy he knew it was over, goodbye life, the music and acting was so good it's insane.I loved it so much i could write out every scene but i guess you got the point. shot caller is great!
thebubbleboy-18191 How this piece of debris got 7.1 stars is beyond me. Upper middle class people with no prior record do NOT get sent to maximum security prison for accidents such as his. Also the transformation to a hardened, tattooed gang banger was just too quick. Just. Wouldn't. Happen. Ridiculous! Save 2 hours of your life. Don't watch this turd.
pauldhawkins It's a typical prison drama / action film but is gripping on a new level! The story is clever and believable and really makes you believe it could happen ! Nikolaj plays a great part and makes you believe that one mistake can lead to the life it turns into. Even if it is not your usual genre I promise you working t be disappointed !
steve-downerhouse I had no expectations when I saw this. Had never heard of it before, seen any reviews or any trailers. But what a great movie. Very original, fantastic acting, thoroughly enjoyable.Highly recommended.
