A Prophet (2009)



Excellent prison/mob film featuring wonderful performances: both the central protagonists are captivating. The story avoids romanticizing prison life until the unfortunate final scene/shot.  The only other negative note is the supernatural elements seem to be leftover from an early version of the script and should have been dropped altogether.  They don’t add anything, are undeveloped, and don’t particularly make sense.
