Review of Dog Pound (2010) by Eric T — 03 Sep 2011

I heard about this movie through Adam Butcher (Butch) who is one of the main characters in the film; we work out at the same gym in Cambridge. I thought it was a pretty good depiction of youth prisons (from what I know), I enjoyed the dialogue, I like Butch and Davis's characters.

I thought Angel was a bit of a waste of a character, didnt see much point trying to focus on him, Butch and Davis were more of the interesting ones. I think this movie does not have a real pinpointed plot, which doesnt take away from the film (in my opinion), its just more of a broad perspective.

I also thought the c.o. who killed angel by accident had good character development. Overall, a very entertaining film that falls under the radar. But if you like prison stuff or violent movies, check this out for sure!
