"Shot Caller"

 Lousy title. Great movie. How a prison movie ended up in my queue, I have no idea. But I'm glad I took a chance with this one. A successful stockbroker and family man ends up in prison after he accidentally kills a friend while drunk driving. In order to survive, he becomes a total badass. The transformation from a decent, caring guy into a hardened criminal is absolutely astonishing. Nikolaj Coster-Waldau is brilliant in this award-worthy performance. I figured I'd give this about ten minutes but couldn't stop watching.  An undiscovered gem.
