i think the acting in this film ( except for the lead actor ) be some of the bad i have see . it remind me of a high school drama production with a videocam . if the scene in jail or prison be actually shoot there with real inmate and then they can be excuse . this isn not a documentary while it portray a fiction . i follow the exploit of the lead character with some interest . the others around him be almost cartoon . have never be inside and i can not say the story be anywhere near accurate . it seem to be accurate to those of u who have never have the misfortune of be jail . here some thing to ponder represent in the opening the cop be bang in the door a the drug bust in go down . the partner be all together . we see the lead get bust a he come out the door . so where could he stash 300k in that length of time where his two partner also wouldn not have know about it . in the end when he be out and ( this be and i presume and eight year later ) he get the money ( so well hide in 60 second eight year before that no one find it by accident in 8 year and include the police ) and head over to his place . keep in mind his female friend doesn not live with him anymore . so and who have a place just sit there for eight year . he do not pay tax and etc . and it would be confiscate . rewind the shooting scene at the home and see if any of this act add up to an oscar . it remind me of the level of act in a porn film ( so do the set ) . so and he shoot a cop and drive nine hour unmolested to cross the u. s. mexican border . certainly the authority would never put out an advisory . overall and it keep my interest and but i felt the effort to make it real make it look unreal .
