^ Started watching that. I've been meaning to for ages. The first dude seems like an actor lol. The way it's shot is doing my box in, as I'm obviously not watching it in 3D but it's so clear what parts are meant to be sticking out of the screen, pretty annoying.
Nineteen year-old Franco-Arab Malik El Djebena is just starting his six year prison sentence in Brécourt. Although he has spent the better part of his life in juvenile detention, this stint is his first in an adult prison. Beyond the division of Corsicans and Muslims in the prison (the Corsicans who with their guard connections rule what happens in the prison), he has no known friends or enemies inside. He is just hoping to serve his time in peace and without incident, despite having no prospects once he's out of jail since he's illiterate and has no support outside of the prison. Due to logistics, the head of Corsican inmates, a sadistic mafioso named César Luciani, co-opts Malik as part of the Corsicans' activities, not only regarding what happens inside the prison, but also continued criminal activities outside. The innocent Malik has no idea what to do but cooperate...
Good choice Watson, top film.
I've watched a few decent films on Film4 this week, Harsh Times, The Machinist, a Congolese film last night which name I forget and even Alfie which was surprisingly good. Like the way it was filmed.
cockstar said:Watched 'Contraband' the other night, not bad at all. Kind of reminded me of one of my favorite films 'Brooklyn's Finest'

Going to be watching 'Safehouse' later

imdb said:"Gomorra" is a contemporary Neapolitan mob drama that exposes Italy's criminal underbelly by telling five stories of individuals who think they can make their own compact with Camorra, the area's Mafia.
added to shopping cart as well, even though contraband has marky mark in it and safehouse looks like a run of the mill Bourne rip off
Gomorra is really good. A similar calibre to un prophet. It really aims to show you the story they are showing properly, and gives you a proper insight into just how fucked they are with the Mafia in Southern Italy. It permeates every area of society. It also lets you see parts of Italy we mostly never get to see, like their versions of 60s estates, which are even worse than a lot of our estates by the looks of things. I watched it in conjunction with a BBC documentary that was on around the same time (I think they were doing one of their specialist 'seasons'), that really made me understand and put it into perspective:

You're an enterprising individual, i'm sure you can find that :D

jancrow said:I watched 'The Raid : Redemption' last night, or about 80% of it, but kept blacking out towards the end, then woke up and found that my trousers were all torn to shit. I'm not sure if that's a recommendation or not.
