O.G.

Jeffrey Wright gives an unflinching and pretty amazing portrayal of former prison gang leader 'Lois' who is nearing the end of his 24 year sentence in a maximum security prison. When a new inmate shifts the balance of prison society Lois must decide between protecting himself or getting involved in the brewing conflict.

There isn't really much of a story here, just a realistic view of prison life unlike anything I've seen before. The movie has a bit of a documentary feel to it because of where and how its filmed. Wright's performance is unflinching and very real feeling, probably the sole reason I stuck with this. Enjoyed his interactions with the warden William Fichtner and also how scared and uncertain Lois was to return to the outside world. Worth a watch.

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.

Jeffrey Wright is an exceptional actor and what I know of prison life from those I have spoken with the story was on point. However despite the excellent performance by Jeffrey Wright the story seemed incomplete. There was something else to say that was left unsaid. I just needed a little more and perhaps I would have given it at least an eight. it's still a worthy watch for those who appreciate a smart drama and to see the Stellar acting job from Jeffrey Wright.

For me o.g wasn't that bad. Almost all of this movie power come from it's background. Which is pretty amazing. I mean you can feel so much strong grip from something that only tell by story not scene. But, they look like wasn't utilize this power and decide to go easy on the main story movie.

They put a tiny laugh in this movie, and it's fun to have that in this kind of movie. The visual sometime may surprise you.

The hand wall scene was unnecessary for me.

This film felt like cinema at its finest. The moral and psychological dilemma's the main character, Louis, was going through played out in a beautiful nuanced way. Jeffrey Wright once again becomes the character he is playing in a way that makes you feel for them. Great film among the noise.
