Weak shot


Shot Caller (2017)

Directed Ric Roman Waugh this film stars Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Omari Hardwick, Lake Bell and Jon Bernthal. A stock broker gets sent to jail for causing death by drink driving and joins a white power gang for protection.

I found that this film falls down on never really convincing me over the protagonist's transformation from family man to vicious killer. No doubt the prison environment can change a man but this film failed to sell it's premise. The other thing I'm not sure about was the casting of Coster-Waldau in the lead role either, he didn't seem powerful enough for it.

2/5
