Go to Jail, Do Not Pass Go
Val Kilmer’s new film, Felon, takes gritty to a new level. Kilmer plays a serial murderer shacked up in the joint with Stephen Dorf. Dorf’s character has been wrongly incarcerated after he defends his family from an intruder, and is inducted into the violent world of thuggery that is maximum security prison. He is faced with having his butt handed to him on a platter on a daily basis or turning into a violent gladiator. This film promises to be darker than your standard family fare, with an unusually edgy performance from Kilmer.
Felon - Theatrical Trailer
After the system fails Wade Porter (Stephen Dorff), a man who inadvertently killed an intruder in his home while justly protecting his wife and son, the family man faces three years in a maximum security prison where every rule he has ever lived by is thrown out the window. To make matters worse, Porter doesn't get along with his new cellmate (Val Kilmer), most likely because the guy is an epically notorious mass murderer. In order to make it out of his sentence alive, between vicious prisoners and the sadistic machinations of the corrupt Warden Lt. Jackson (Harold Perrineau Jr., LOST), Porter is going to transform himself into the toughest, meanest cat in the joint.
