Its sad to see that great movies and outstanding acting dont get high scores anymore.
Anyway.... This movie is a 1 room story. That in itself is hard to do then theres the small team and low budget. But the skill of the makers and acting made for a great film.....I swear i sound like I work for them but I dont. I just like the theatre and watching a good play...which by the way isnt much more thana cinema ticket.
But watching a theatre production gives you a respect for the story teller and acting to tell a huge story and off shoots of that story all from one stage...or room in this case, and to pull it off. And I think that gives me a respect and understanding for the work put into this film.
Not perfect but really well done and acting is outstanding. I believed everyone was who they portrayed ...some hollywood A listers could learn a thing or two.
Story telling 8 acting 10 score 7.

The low scores probably didnt watch or understand it.
The typical lockdown movie
Well, AVENGEMENT this isn't. Instead it looks like a typical cheap lockdown movie, shot in just a single dark room with a few characters chattering interminably away. The plot feels like a spin on the old prison dramas about old lags taking young rookies under their wing, but despite a few moments of casual violence it's very dull, with cod psychology and bored actors.
Pretty darn good
He spent his whole time trying to save his cellmate from the wrathes of the other violent prisoners...thought that a bond was formed between the two....he really was a violent man. Never expected that ending. A couple days before his cellmate was getting released...hmmm. Great movie. Acting was superb. His daughter gave a great performance..even though it was a short part. Bravo. Hope to see her again !
