Apie šį filmą

In director / screenwriter Ric Roman Waugh's (Snitch) gritty crime thriller Shot Caller, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau ("Game of Thrones") plays Jacob Harlon, a successful Pasadena financier married to Kate (Lake Bell), with the perfect life and family. All of that disappears one night behind the wheel, when a drunk-driving accident results in the accidental death of Jacob's best friend Tom (Max Greenfield). Charged with vehicular manslaughter, Jacob is sentenced to prison, where he's surrounded by cutthroat criminals. A fish out of water, he is forced to do the unimaginable to survive within the prison gang hierarchy, where one wrong move can be your last. He adopts the persona of "Money" and rises up within the Aryan Brotherhood prison gang; his moral centre eroding in the process. Upon release, Money hits the treacherous streets of Los Angeles as a changed man and enters a deadly chess game with no-nonsense parole agent Kutcher (Omari Hardwick) and LA County gang-unit sheriff Sanchez (Benjamin Bratt), as his gang forces him to arrange an illegal arms deal if he wants to keep his family safe from gangster vengeance.

I found this to be a great watch. Nikolaj really showed his versatility. Have also seen him in The Accountant, another movie I highly recommend. Fortunately his talent as an actor hasn't allowed him to be typecast to just being a Lannister.

This is a really well crafted story.The dialog is well written and the cast do an amazing job.. its a really underrated movie. Watch it and see if I'm not right.

What a movie. Something so different, so realistic and confronting to watch. This was no fairytale but a brutal truth on darker side of this world we live in.
