You know going in that this will be a good film because Hollywood has grabbed it and will remake it.
Aside from that, it really is an excellent prison drama. Some may find it a bit violent, so if you are squeamish, just wait for the Hollywood version.
The film was penned by Jorge Guerricaechevarría, who wrote the well regarded Live Flesh with Pedro Almodovar. It won 25 awards and had another 19 nominations.
The highly regarded Spanish actor, Luis Tosar (Mondays in the Sun, Take My Eyes) leads an impressive cast that includes Alberto Ammann, Marta Etura, and Javier Bardem's older brother, Carlos.
Tense, dark, bloody, and exciting.
