Some actors just get tangled up in a particular
role and especially if that role is on the television, they tend to repeat it
endlessly, without some serious stepping out on the big screen.
Nikolaj Koster-Waldau hadn’t
repeated those mistakes by making some important appereances in the Danish long
feature production („Second chance”)
and also tries real hard to get away from the shadow of Jaime Lannister across
the Atlantic.
„Shot caller” isn’t his „Scarface”,
but still represents a decent modern day grim and slow pace bloody thriller
about a family man that ends up in jail and must fight his way if he wants to
survive behind the bars. On that road he becomes a ruthless prison lord,
transforming both physically and mentally.
Script doesn’t tend to offer some memorable
climax or conclusion, dwindling heavily in the last third of the movie, but
Nikolaj manages to show us some decent acting and keep us on our toes during
the larger part of the movie.
„Shot caller” is a typical modern Hollywood
thriller about modern prisoners filmed for the modern, blood and violence
thirsty men.
