Felon is about a man by the name of Wade Porter (Stephen Droff) living his life successfully until one day when a robber breaks into his house. He chases the man out of the house with a bat in an act of self defense but after he chases the man out of his house he continues to chase him and hits him in the head with a bat which ends up killing the robber. The cops later arrive and he is arrested for murder because he left his house so it wasn’t considered self defense. He gets 5 years for involuntary manslaughter and is sent to state prison. He must learn real quick where he stands with his moral being in prison he will be tested by other inmate and he is right away getting into a fight for just looking at a man. After arriving at the jail he soon finds out that the jail is corrupted by a prison guard who allows the inmates to fight in the yard and he puts money on it. The white Aryans to the Southside Mexican he must stick loyal to his race and fight anyone who tries him. The character of Wade Porter is a strong man who fights his way through jail to get back to his two little daughters and his wife. He begins a weak little man, to being this beast boxer that will fight anyone because he isn’t scared anymore. Another character is Vincent Miller (Michael Porter) he is in prison for life. He keeps getting in trouble in prison so he can get the death penalty. He helps the main character Wade out by teaching him the ropes of the prison life. I believe the theme of this movie is that life is not fair but good always come over evil in the end. He is wrongfully put in jail, he fights all those evils for years and in the end he prevails. The movie Felon got a 5/5 stars on Netflix (That’s where I found it) which is really good. My overall opinion is that this movie is good for anyone who likes good fighting movies with a deep plot. There are a lot of twists in this movie with a suspenseful ending.
