Excellent film about prison life in a French prison, but prisons in the Western world are very similar. Well done in all respects.

Very good movie, Well acted and scripted. If you like gangster or any prison type movies, this is a must see. The movie has subtitles and they are... ard to read sometimes from the white coloring of the scene, but the movie flows without them. A little long but I was very happy seeing this flick. true review Full Review

The best performance in the film is by Arestrup as Cesar. You may remember him from Audiard's "The Beat That My Heart Skipped" (2005), where he played a seedy but confident father who psychically overshadows his son.Full Review

To borrow a marketing phrase from another, very different film, A Prophet really is the movie that reminds you why you love the movies. Especially movies like this one.Full Review
