This director (Ric Roman Waugh) specializes in gritty crime dramas about prison system and its failings/ draconian realities. Since I recognized the style I checked, and yeah what do you know, its the same one who made, Felon from 2008, quite good and really underrated one too (even uses same actors in some of it too, Jon Berenthal, Benjamin Bratt and several others. And Snitch, who had potential and similar plot, but had its gravitas kinda semi-ruined by starring The Rock who sticks out too much...
Compared to Nicholai Coaster-Waldau who is flatout amazing in Shot caller, by far the best movie of the 3, these other 2 was good practice to make it seems (very similar themes).

"I saw this film late at night in a preview room in Moscow for the first time, and soon I felt my heart aching in agony with a longing to returning to the earth as quickly as possible. Marvellous progress in science we have been enjoying, but where will it lead humanity after all? Sheer fearful emotion this film succeeds in conjuring up in our soul. Without it, a science fiction movie would be nothing more than a petty fancy.
Tarkovsky was together with me then. He was at the corner of the studio. When the film was over, he stood up, looking at me as if he felt timid. I said to him, "Very good. It makes me feel real fear." Tarkovsky smiled shyly, but happily. And we toasted vodka at the restaurant in the Film Institute. Tarkovsky, who didn't drink usually, drank a lot of vodka, and went so far as to turn off the speaker from which music had floated into the restaurant, and began to sing the theme of samurai from Seven Samurai at the top of his voice.
As if to rival him, I joined in.
For I was at that moment very happy to find myself living on Earth."

Ok, so I watched Alien: Covenant. What a piece of shit movie that was.
First off, the storyline was rather meh compared to all other Alien movies. By meh I mean standard and repetative stuff that happens in almost every movie. But it's not just that, this movie has moved the borders of a word: stupid. Firstly, aren't they scientists? People who are well prepared for space travels and this sort of stuff? I laughed so hard when they went to another planet, the guy went on his knee and snorked some mushroom that was on a ground!? LOL. A scientist! Or just a guy with a brain. I knew better in 5th grade when they taught me basic stuff in the chemistry class. Also, that girl that went into the cave and started to wash herself with some dirty-water and whoknowswhat else in it toxic thing that they didn't even test or something. Then there's the synethetic guy who just pops up with a huge ass flare that scares the alien and says 'come with me'. I don't know if I ever saw anything more pathetic than that scene. Turns out he was there for 10 years, all alone, living in a cave where he had scissors! I mean, seriously, what the fuck... there was also a tombstone with an engraving on it, while I really wonder how he made that stuff. Then there's the team leader who went into the dark room where he followed a robot-guy who was a threat, yet he agreed to see in a close-up how looks a flower-alien that managed to fuck him up. Just... seriously? How fuck stupid they are? I didn't like the music as well. Some parts were great but other parts totally missed the point. Lastly, does every space movie with aliens in it has to have an alien aboard? While there's nothing wrong with it, why does it always have to be 'lets flush him out with air' type of strategy? So cheeky and yet in the end way too predictable. Total let down. Prometheus is light years better than this movie. Really, really, really shit movie. As a genre I'd actually write how it's a sci-fi comedy.
