Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Really surprising, had no real expectations for this and was almost blown away. Giving a realistic and brutal depiction of American Prison life this film was a good watch, at times it's oacing feels a little slow and it seems to lose its way but generally speaking it's great with fantastic action sequences and completely understandable motives with deep character the 'Shot Caller' is brilliant, I highly recommend

When we have the time my wife and i watch movies together. The thing is we don't have much time since the birth of our 4 month old son. So when we watch a movie, it better be good. My wife had no interest in watching shot caller so i decided to watch it on my own. I was an hour in and my wife comes downstairs and catches a few scene's and guess what... ''this looks good'' damn right it looks good! Normally i would have finished the movie but i loved everything about shot caller that i had no problems with rewatching this movie.so shotcaller,I loved it. The story, characters, actors, setting and music were top notch. It was very interesting and emotional to how Money turned from an upperclass working guy to the guy with the keys. His choice to join the AB was the worst choice he could have made. Every action he took was to protect his family yet every action drove him further away from them until there was no turning back. Imagine how that must feel, you love your wife and kid and you are forced to do horrible things to keep them save, but if you do, you will never see them again, dude that goes right into the feels. I'm a dad myself and i can't imagine how much pain and suffering money feels inside. The scene where he has to kill a ab snitch was powerful, he didn't want to do it but had no choice. After he killed the guy he knew it was over, goodbye life, the music and acting was so good it's insane.I loved it so much i could write out every scene but i guess you got the point. shot caller is great!

..... WATCH THIS FILM!! If you have seen and enjoyed FELON then this film is for you(same writer and director). I stumbled upon this film and watched it straight away back in 2017 and I thought it was brilliant, one of the best films of 2017 along with Brawl in Cell Block 99, so I just watched it again and decided to do my first Review, Brilliant performances, Great Writing and Great Directing. Like I've said WATCH IT, if you like crime, drama with stabs of tension you will not be disappointed.

Really enjoyable work. Good acting, script and immersive soundtrack. Don't miss it!
