Synopsis

Copper Jack Stone purposefully orchestrates a bank robbery in order to be thrown into prison with the notorious Russian kingpin Balam. Balam is more than just a mob criminal; he's a very cunning and dangerous lord who controls the police force from behind bars. Balam lives in prison as a cover for his real power, which is King of the city. His cell is a lavish private room built specifically for him, inaccessible to most in the depths of the prison structure. Even the warden fears venturing into his area of the prison. However, even surrounded by his loyal henchmen and guards in his sectioned off fortress, Balam doesn't know Jack is coming for him to avenge his family, who Balam murdered in cold blood. Balam is tough... but Jack is tougher.

Balam is more than just a mob criminal; he's a very cunning and dangerous lord who controls the police force from behind bars. I was expecting Riot to be some kind of 'Escape Plan' but it managed to be even worse than 'Escape Plan 2: Hades'. It's a total borefest of a film, the acting isn't impressive and Lundgren is totally wasted plus studios need to stop with this fake advertisement their doing cause it's awful!!
kosmasp Although I/you shouldn't associate this with the TV show. If we do, then only with the currently last season (for some reason they are going to continue with it, but that's a different story). No it was a neat title or summary for a very low budget movie, with some decent fight scenes on display.Dolph Lundgren has some fun with his role, a small one, since he's only a supporting actor in this (no pun intended). The main guy plays like he's in an 80s movie. So if you like those kind of movies from back then, you might be entertained enough (even more so then other people are). There are some females though not that many in this, one of them in particular has some fighting to do. It's a bit convoluted at best when it comes to "story", but that's not why you'll watch it anyway ...
Leofwine_draca PRISON RIOT is another B-movie thriller set in a violent prison, where an undercover cop is gunning for revenge against the crime boss who had his family killed. Although Dolph Lundgren features predominantly on the box art, he's actually playing in support here, with the main role given over to unknown actor Matthew Reese. There's also a third character, played by Danielle Chuchran, who seems to have been added to the mix to bring in some female-on-female action.Inevitably, the plotting and narrative of PRISON RIOT aren't up to much, but the focus is instead on plentiful action sequences. And the good news is that they're pretty good. Gone are the lumbering, slow fights of many a 1990s-era straight-to-VHS fight flick; instead, we get martial arts-themed bouts that have clearly been inspired by the likes of THE RAID. I'm talking multiple opponents and weapons, actors being thrown around the sets, and mucho violence.Things culminate in a large-scale prison riot - as the title would suggest - which doesn't disappoint. Yes, the acting is rather wooden, with only Lundgren bringing some of his trademark charm to the proceedings, but when a film offers up a wealth of hard-hitting action it doesn't matter too much. Given that I'm a massive fan of THE RAID, any film which seeks to imitate that film is okay in my book, and PRISON RIOT hits the mark nicely.
Seth_Rogue_One A pretty bad movie that I decided to watch because I enjoyed Dolph Lundgren in 'ONE IN THE CHAMBER (2012)' and I also enjoy prison movies so despite the low rating I thought to myself: why not?But despite the fact that Dolph Lundgren's face covers about 80% of the poster for the first half of the movie he is so far from being the lead, heck for the first 27 minutes he doesn't even have any lines and is limited to just sweeping the floors (literally with a broom).I expected him the Russian kingpin, but nope he plays a mysterious quiet inmate with janitorial duties.The kingpin is played by Chuck Lidell who for the record is on the poster, and I guess that's okay cause he is the actual bad guy of the movie but the main 'hero' of the movie is not even on it, played by Matthew Reese.So yeah anyways even if you look aside all that it's a pretty boring movie, we've seen it all before but usually a lot more exciting.They manage to throw in a even more so boring sub-plot about a news reporter on the outside as well and one about a female prisoner in the female department of the prison which feels like it was added just because it wouldn't be a long enough movie focusing on just Reese, Lidell and (ocassionally) Lundgren in all honesty.All in all wooden acting by pretty much everyone doesn't help... Makes 'VENDETTA (2015)' with Dean Cain and The Big Show look like a prison- movie classic in comparison.
