- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Felon's dialogue is overheated and some of its plot twists are preposterous, yet it's still white-knuckle tense, and held together by dozens of small, well-observed moments"
-
"Tough, brutish prison drama"
-
"'Felon' is not a total bust. What does work is because of the strength of the actors"
-
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
-
"Directed with pounding energy by Ric Roman Waugh (...) the movie delivers the thrills and emotion that prison movies require.
