The end leaves something to be desired.

Rating: 7/10 (27 December 2015)

The movie is engaging.
It has charismatic characters, intimate cinematography and vivid Kubrick-esque narrative.
It is enticing, and exciting; often in a profane way.
It beings up both antipathy, and sympathy towards the protagonist.
It is built around a very interesting concept.
It has a fascinating idea of criminal reform for a backbone.
It is a tale of "what-ifs".
It makes you question prisons, and ethics of reform.
It also reminds me a bit of 1984 in a way.
Its ending leaves you wanting more.
In a way, it lacks substance.
