Felon Ratings & Reviews
Really Cool
5d ago
Better than LOTR.
Mister Arn
March 6, 2025
Felon is an unflinching prison drama filled with raw intensity and strong performances. It’s not an easy watch, with plenty of brutality that focuses on the vicious realities of incarceration.
AV Club
Noel Murray
It's still white-knuckle tense, and held together by dozens of small, well-observed moments.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
...establishes itself as a gritty, thoroughly compelling prison drama that rarely relies on the various tropes of the genre.
NewsBlaze
Prairie Miller
Dorff, who was last spotted as a scary sexual sadist in Shadowboxer, gives a mesmerizing performance evolving from stunned civilian to brutalized inmate and dangerous prison thug, then transforming into a tested man who rediscovers his own humanity.
SSG Syndicate
Susan Granger
This tough, uncompromising, cautionary thriller should be a wake-up call about America's outrageously archaic laws insofar as defending the sanctity of home and family.
Variety
Ronnie Scheib
Stephen Dorff's powerhouse perf as an ordinary Joe trapped behind bars with warring ethnic psychopaths propels "Felon" well ahead of its expose/exploitation brethren while still avoiding the pious learning curves of Frank Darabont's prestige prison dramas
Boxoffice Magazine
John P. McCarthy
Felon ventures outside the prison walls so often that the audience doesn(TM)t get a prolonged sense of the claustrophobia of confinement; the rage being displayed actually dispels the sense of isolation and boredom.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
Kilmer and Dorff, who was also an executive producer, immerse themselves in difficult roles and the film's overall air of social commitment will surprise viewers drawn in by its exploitation-movie promotion.
Newsday
John Anderson
Tough, brutish prison drama with an easy windup, but good acting and an uncompromising take on the prison system.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
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 Post
Lou Lumenick
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 Daily News
Joe Neumaier
A subplot involving corrupt guards makes the movie even duller than the score that sounds like a rusty squeezebox.
Los Angeles Times
Mark Olsen
For a film that seems to pride itself on its depiction of prison-reality, it feels extremely movie-phony.
Bangitout.com
Jordan Hiller
While the film is violent and decidedly tragic, the overall sensation of watching it is nothing you haven't experienced before with numerous films, from Death Warrant to Lock Up to Oz.
The Hollywood Reporter
Stephen Farber
Directed with pounding energy by Ric Roman Waugh and acted to the hilt by a cast comprising several of yesterday's stars proving their mettle, the movie delivers the thrills and emotion that prison movies require.
Observer
Rex Reed
The stuff that happens in a tense, taut new movie called Felon is nothing less than electrifying.
Village Voice
Ed Gonzalez
Felon gives everyone their tidy and expected due but outlines a realistic enough cycle of how a man's life can easily spiral out of his control.
ColeSmithey.com
Cole Smithey
Former stuntman Rick Waugh turns writer/director to make a compelling and gritty drama that is as much a commentary on America's failed justice/prison system as it is about the devastation suffered by an honest family man imprisoned for killing a burglar
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
Felon flounders in convincingly resolving its protagonist's plight.
