Truly the worst movie I've ever seen in a theater

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

I think constantly writing scripts based on the violence behind prison doors has finally clogged the mind of Preston A. Whitmore, frying his membrane into two pieces. The first piece only responds to violence, and the second to homosexuality. Seriously, ninety percent of footage showed the actors, naked as the sun, showing their asses like a soft porn snuff film. The other ten percent involves your usual jail house rock film - blood, fists, disputes, and corrupt prison guards. I don't know what is more disturbing, the actual constant showing of asses, or the poor writing and directing abilities of Preston A. Whitmore. Do not watch the movie if you suffer from suicidal tendencies - watching this movie might push a person off the edge. I guarantee this appalling attempt to be creative will give you the strength to go all the way and pull the trigger.

When my sister brought home this movie to watch my first thoughts were - "black action movie, never heard of the title, can't recall any of the actors names.. must be rubbish".After deciding to give it a try.. it turned from a bad drama to a comedy. The acting was horrible, the plot was stupid and to top it off the prison had 1 prison guard.. she was hot though.I ended up laughing the whole way through this movie. Laughing not because it was funny, but the acting and some of the scenes were just stupid.Overall i give it a 1/10 only because i couldn't vote any lower. Rent this movie if you want to see how NOT to make a movie

DHT, to me is a movie about losing sight, and finding it again. I just saw Doing Hard Time, and it's hard to express how this movie effected me, as I'm still processing what I experienced.DHT, is a honest, raw, and bonifide look at reality, and what our choices bring with it's consequences. Cause and Effect, in effect.I thought this movie had superb acting, great dialog, and cohesion, all movies have flaws, but those aside, this movie hit home, and did so masterfully.The gritty acting was never overplayed, always on target, and straight from the heart.I give this movie 9 of 10.

This movie was awful in my opinion, yet funnily enough i stayed glued to the screen till the end. I guess it wasn't because the movie was interesting rather i wanted to see what other things the director decided to pull out of the bag. It was hilarious at times with things that just came up (gun made of paper mache), and i don't usually expect to be laughing in such a drama. This movie seemed like it didn't have a style of it's own, rather incorporating whatever the director wanted to throw into the movie, and when you try and throw everything and anything into a movie, it makes it a stupid movie. The scene where one of the inmates (Clever) starts dancing while mopping the floor? Sorry, but i REALLY thought the movie was awful.
