Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
From Spanish director Daniel Monzon, this is a white-hot prison drama with a Byzantine plot and enough gore to make Reservoir Dogs look like a petting zoo.
– Rick Groen,
Globe and Mail,
28 Oct 2011
fresh:
It's a cut above the usual penal picture, intelligent with sharply drawn, memorable characters, a storyline suffused with tension and unexpected turns, and a morass of moral quandaries that could lead the most innocent into irretrievable darkness.
– Bruce Demara,
Toronto Star,

fresh:
Just be sure to up your internal disbelief setting from 'suspended' to 'nonexistent'.

Celda 211 (Cell 211) requires you to look past a couple of contrivances in order to enjoy its main scenario: How quickly can the ruinous nature of prison life corrupt an innocent, moral man?
– Rene Rodriguez,
Miami Herald,
31 Jan 2011
fresh:
Nearly every minute throbs with heart-pounding suspense, from the opening scene of a prisoner slashing his wrists with a razor blade fashioned from a cigarette filter to its mournful, blood-soaked conclusion.
