Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3.5/4 --
...establishes itself as a gritty, thoroughly compelling prison drama that rarely relies on the various tropes of the genre.

Reel Film Reviews
Rating: 3/4 --
Tough, brutish prison drama with an easy windup, but good acting and an uncompromising take on the prison system.
Newsday
Rating: 2/4 --
A good cast and disciplined direction add some distinction to Ric Roman Waugh's Felon, which is basically the old tale about an innocent man corrupted by a stay in prison.

New York Post
The plot expands and gets more complex as the story progresses, and the dramatic tension ratchets up

Rating: 2.5/5 --
Written and directed by Ric Roman Waugh, and filmed at the New Mexico State Penitentiary near Santa Fe, Felon is one of the most realistic prison films ever made.
New York Times
Rating: 4/5 --
Explores how violence is endemic in the prisoner, no matter their background, almost as soon as their sentencing is handed down.

Father Son Holy Gore
An emotionally intense and powerfully strong film that assails one's sensibilities and mores, ... FELON touches our hearts and our minds, humanizing what and who many perceive as inhuman.

Behind The Lens
Product Description:
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. This gritty actioner comes from writer-director Ric Roman Waugh, a popular stuntman who has worked on such films as UNIVERSAL SOLDIER, ROAD HOUSE, TOTAL RECALL, and LETHAL WEAPON 2.
