A Prophet 2009

From Netflix "After refusing to snitch, 18-year-old Arab Malik (Tahar Rahim) is thrown into a French prison, where the Corsican mafia rules with a firm fist. The obedient newcomer slowly rises through the organization's ranks but soon begins to double-cross his superiors."

At 2.5 hrs I thought it could have done well in 2.0, but given the number of awards it got I seem to be in the minority. I enjoyed it and would watch it again. Apparently there is a remake afoot, I'll bet it's american and I'll bet they screw it up, watch this french version.
