The System (I) (2022)
3/10
Prison Fight Club
13 November 2022
Warning: Spoilers
Terry Savage (Tyrese Gibson) Is a special ops war veteran having a hard time making a living in a thriving economy with two openings for every person. He opts to rob a drug dealer to make his money. He gets caught and faces 10 years for armed robbery. He cuts a deal where he will go into an evil Republican backed (movies' words not mine) corporate prison to see if they are doing something crooked and get evidence to shut them down. We meet the likeable warden (Jeremy Piven) who introduces Terry to the prison fight club and drug operation. In order to get his freedom he must fight a huge Mr. T looking guy with gold chains.

The opening scenes opted to use a jerky camera that was not level for effect. It gave me a headache. The plot was predictable and the acting failed to bring the script to life. It failed to create the intended drama and intensity especially with a one punch fight. The warden's throne in the fight room looked stupid. No character introduction for the main actor.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
