Looks similar to Waldau's previous movie, Shot Caller which is tremendous. Plus I love me a good revenge flick. But yeah, again could go either way. You could have a The Crow/Dead Man's Shoes/Taken/You Were Never Really Here level film or you could end up with The Crow: Wicked Prayer/Run All Night level shít.
Yeah. Very underrated movie. Apparently, according to youtubers who cover that kind of stuff, one of the most true to life US prison movies in regards to how the gangs work
Especially if you like some bloody, ultra-violence.
Although I wasn't sure how [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Casey survived the suffocation with the bag at the end... I guess someone poked a hole in it?
Yeah, I was kind of fifty-fifty on whether to watch it or not because of the stupid satanic thing, because real criminals don't put targets on themselves by dressing up like Satanists. Real criminals (as you know, Rob) hide behind religion as priests and preachers or as politicians. So in that sense it's not very realistic, but I got past it and enjoyed the movie. Some of the writing (dialogues/monologues) could have been a little better, but it's serviceable for the premise and violent set-pieces.
I'm liking some of Jamie Lannister's lesser-known, more independent film projects. I wonder if he has any other gems I'm not familiar with (like the aforementioned Shot Caller, which is effing brilliant). I'll have to look into it...
Lol... fun fact: God is a Bullet from Nick Cassavetes, director of The Notebook...
Oh, c'mon... admit it, you spanked it to some of that nice sexy ultraviolence, didn't you?

That looks pretty good. I tried the trailers for some of his other lesser-known films and the trailers bored me, so probably not a good sign for the full films.
