Critic Reviews

Felon's dialogue is overheated and some of its plot twists are preposterous, yet it's still white-knuckle tense, and held together by dozens of small, well-observed moments.Full Review

Noel Murray
The Onion A.V. Club

Stephen Dorff's powerhouse perf as an ordinary Joe trapped behind bars with warring ethnic psychopaths propels Felon well ahead of its expose/exploitation brethren while still avoiding the pious learning curves of Frank Darabont's prestige prison dramas.Full Review

Ronnie Scheib
Variety

The most startling performance comes from Val Kilmer as Wade's hardened cellmate, a man who combines bitterness with wisdom.Full Review

Stephen Farber
The Hollywood Reporter

Mr. Dorff's hot-wired portrayal of a prisoner under physical and psychic siege gives Felon its emotional through line as Wade's attitude metamorphoses from stunned disbelief, to terror, to despair, to fury and finally to hope.Full Review

Stephen Holden
The New York Times

Kilmer and Dorff, who was also an executive producer, immerse themselves in difficult roles.Full Review
