Failed film by Buscemi that strings together the clichés and is really just annoying to watch. 1*.

After his great Trees Lounge, this one is mostly a miss.
Once again a very impressive cast, who once again act very impressively. I've never liked Dafoe to play, but here he is perfect. So is Furlong, Boone Jr. and what a role of Rourke 
Story is much less. Didn't really interest me at all. It is also portrayed very calmly and subdued here, but it simply didn't work as well here as in its debut. It's all pretty cliché, too, and in terms of atmosphere, the whole thing resembled a dated television series.
Buscemi - both behind and in front of the camera - falls short here to really convince.

A six for the effort. Nice situations here and there and a good cast certainly helps with this. However, there are many situations that are very recognizable. The prison film genre has very little variation. I keep getting the feeling that when you've seen two or three, you've seen them all.
