O.G.

Great acting, no doubt however there's very little substance. The story line feels like there's more to offer and there really should be. HBO could have had more on their hands but the script let down what could have been. Solid acting but a poor script is where O.G feels more like a PG. (poor Ganster)

I learned something about prison life. Honest, good portrayal by Jeffrey Wright.

I guess I watched a different movie than some of the other reviewers. I thought Jeffrey Wright's performance was brilliant. The subtle realism of the writing was terrific.

It was very well written and the actors performance were strong. There was great depth to the characters even-though the story line was not complex. Yet, it presented just enough suspense to keep you uneasy. The scene with his victim's sister was amazingly honest. The cinematography gave it a documentary feel. Job well done HBO!

I'm not a fan of slow paced films without any real excitement, but this films story and Jeffrey Wright's performance kept me captivated throughout the entire film. The directing was decent with some nice shots, and considering it was filmed in a real prison with real inmates, it was quite the well put-together production. It really shows the reality of the last weeks of prison life from a 23 year inmate ready to get out to the real world facing his final challenges. No action, twists or Hollywood effects here, just a story told really well. It's an honest 8/10 from me, and if anyone questions my review as fake, click on my username to see 1000+ ratings and 600+ reviews.
