Movie - Felon

Felon was released in 2008, which depicts life in prison. The movie's main character is Wade Porter (Stephen Dorff) who is thrown into jail for killing two robbers who tried to harm his family. He is then mentored by John Smith (Val Kilmer, who gave a award worthy performance).

"You are just a visitor, this is my world. Till death do us part"
John Smith telling Wade Porter

John Smith is famous for killing the thugs that murdered his family and then he went and killed the family of these thugs. So he is sentenced to life in prison. Prison is his world now. He teaches the new fish Wade Porter about prison politics. Prison is all about race. Rival gangs will forget about their feud and join together as long as they have the same color of skin. Then Wade Porter has to deal with a few conflicts:
  1. the guards who forces him to fight with someone else, so they can bet on him
  2. the mother of his child; who is having problems on the outside and wants a separation
  3. dealing with people from the Aryan Brotherhood
A good movie with a happy ending. Enjoy!
