Harry R Apr 7, 2019 Shot caller isn't quit at the level of other shows in the genre but it's aggressive nature and fantastic performances are truly memorable. See more

Hagrid W Mar 10, 2019 Shot Caller is not what I would call a fun film, but it is gripping. Good: - Performances are almost all stong - cinematography is stong, if perhaps limited by the subject matter, which is probably the point - the story of a generic office worker transformed into a master criminal is fascinating to watch, although perhaps a little implausible. If we are to believe his main motivation is his family (which you have to believe to have any empathy for the character), then his best bet would have been to join a gang and lay low instead of implausibly showing the uber competence and ruthlessness required to take control of the gang. - It REALLY makes you glad you are not in prison. Weak: - a lot the of the gang stuff made almost no sense. People would get whacked or fight or be best buds for no apparent reason, or else the reason was quickly inaudibly whispered right before the event. Also, if he was RUNNING the gang, wouldnt it make sense NOT to turn over the extra guns to the cops and instead, uh, I don't know, SELL them so you can continue to make hush money payments... or... something? Also, why don't the Nazis do any Nazi stuff? Or are they just tatoos to make them look tough? - It was pretty nihilistic to assume that to protect his family, Money needs to throw away his life and do the thing he hates forever. There weren't ANY other options? Witness Protection? How about hang outside the prison where the Beast's cage is with a sniper rifle? Beast is all gussied up in that dunk tank cage out by the fence. - There is a weird lull in the movie's pacing after all the intro stuff. Almost like the movie slows down and takes a deep breath before the finale. It might have been for effect, but it seemed to make the movie drag. - I can't recall the last time a man's ass has been so pivotal to a movie! - What the HECK happened to Bejamin Bratt and what the HECK DIED on his face?
