“The Inner Cage” isn’t exactly a feast for the senses. Even so, if you’re in the mood to listen, the film’s careful conversations occasionally serve up food for thought.

This one tells a grimly familiar story in an interestingly different way.

Earnest, compassionate filmmaking that tries to cut past clichés and show how even the worst criminals have a heart...

Not a prison uprising or escape thriller. Instead, it thoughtfully wends its way towards making a poignant statement about how under these extraordinary circumstances, the two “sides” relax some of their roles’ innate hostility.
