In the framework of this article, domestic films about prison will be considered . Russian militants have many fans. But no less there are people who consider domestic cinema to be something too backward, and actors to be mediocrity. Well, everyone has the right to a personal opinion. However those Russian fighters about the prison, which we will discuss later, may well make some change their beliefs.
Ogre
This Russian action movie about the prison dates back to 1991. And the country that released it is not even Russia, but the already defunct USSR. On the territory of one of the union republics - Kazakhstan - there is a strict regime colony. Endless tyranny and constant cruelty on the part of overseers have been put off for years in the souls and heads of prisoners by unbearable hatred. And once this feeling broke free - a bloody uprising began. Of course, the news of this event immediately reached the party authorities. But officials have no leisure to understand the prerequisites of a hassle. Their goal is to intimidate prisoners by revealing cruel punishment of the initiators of the uprising.
“I am a doll”
We move on. In the next decade, no significant films of this kind were noted. The Russian action movie about the prison "I am a doll" was released already in 2002. The main character of the film is Victor. Having served in the special forces for a long time, he saw much in life. But fate throws him new surprises, and, far from pleasant ones. He ends up in a death camp. The sentence is “installment payment”. The prisoners in this institution are “experimental rabbits,” live simulators for special agents who develop their skills on them. Prisoners are like dolls that have no names, past, and even more so future. He survived today - that means that tomorrow everything will happen again.
"Zone. Prison novel "
It may be an exaggeration to call this series "Russian action movie about prison." No, this film was produced in Russia, but its genre, rather, can be attributed to dramas and detective stories. Nevertheless, it is included in our list. And all because from the point of view of reflecting the life of prisoners it can be called "very informative." By the way, the fate is shown not only of the criminals themselves, but also of everyone who surrounds them: relatives, friends, prison workers, etc. Yes, and, as you know, it’s not always “on the bunk” is only the one who is guilty. In the neighborhood with seasoned criminals there were people who were simply framed, put in error, and those who were just waiting for their verdict. As for the employees of the institution, you will not envy them either - an uncomplicated personal life, beggarly salaries affect the quality of their life. Moreover, they spend all their days almost in the same captivity as the criminals - in these gray gloomy walls.
"New Earth"
This is the last Russian action movie about the prison, which, in our opinion, deserves attention. The film was shot in 2008, but it tells about the current 2013th. The death penalty was abolished, prisons were filled to capacity. In addition, the maintenance of criminals sentenced to life imprisonment just takes huge amounts of money. International organizations decided to send prisoners to a desert island, which was provided for these purposes by Russia. They are provided with everything necessary, left to build a new life on their own. However, soon the existence on the island becomes unbearable, when everyone can kill for power.
