"A California stockbroker Jacob is arrested and charged for a fatal DUI accident, and on his lawyer's advice, takes a plea deal which sees him sentenced to 16 months in prison. While incarcerated, he becomes involved with a violent white supremacist gang. This movie is a dark character piece. It's about Jacob's journey from clean-cut family man to a hard and violent gang member that shouldn't be crossed. This kind of movie has been done before but Shot Caller does an excellent job of getting you"
“I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but it seemed to have a decent reputation and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out.

"Prison drama with good performances but nothing really new and suprising. "
"First viewing - Nov. 17th First off you should know that Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is the best reason to watch Shot Caller. I've enjoyed his work elsewhere, but I'm glad he's at the center of this film because he really delivers.
