Wright's performance in O.G. is one of the more compelling ones we've seen this year, and the film itself lets viewers look at a view of prison life that's as realistic as anything we've seen.

Can be a tad slow, a touch too simple, and even a little distracted from making a larger, more declarative point about modern incarceration. But by carving its own path through Louis...it's nothing short of original.

A strong character study with some behind-the-scenes baggage.

The storyline is powerful and intense, but it's the way the real world seeps through the script and into the plot that makes this such an incredible film.

An A-plus character study, matched with an actor who is more than up for the challenge.

O.G. is an even-handed film in which the eruptions of violence in prison are not handled in a macho determination to be "edgy" or "gritty" or sensationalistic, and because of that it feels realistic.

O.G. is inevitably no more illuminating than any other narrative dramatization of prison life.

Jeffrey Wright's deep and full bodied performance is worth the ticket price.

Jeffrey Wright... isn't often cast as a lead in a film, so this performance is a rare gem.
