Condemned to six years in prison, Malik El Djebena, part Arab, part Corsican, cannot read or write. Arriving at the jail entirely alone, he appears younger and more fragile than the other convicts. He is 19 years old. Cornered by the leader of the Corsican gang currently ruling the prison, he is given a number of "missions" to carry out, toughening him up and gaining the gang leader's confidence in the process. Malik is a fast learner and rises up the prison ranks, all the while secretly devising his own plans.

Film of the year.
The best film I've seen this year so far. Tahar Rahim was unbelievably good in the lead role. Excellent.
a gripping thriller, well worth a watch
Certainly a good film but over 30-40 minutes longer than it could have been. At 120 minutes, I felt somehow lost; there's so much plot and action, the performances are top-notch, but really, this movie felt like a miniseries. If you're paying attention, you can predict where the movie is going; however, the direction is flawless and sometimes it feels like a documentary. A must-see.
An absolute must see!! It’s a gripping thriller, with an impeccable direction from Jacques Audiard. The cast, especially the main actor Tahar Rahim, is incredible. It's the best movie I've seen in the last couple of months...
