I think constantly writing scripts based on the violence behind prison doors has finally clogged the mind of Preston A. Whitmore, frying his membrane into two pieces. The first piece only responds to violence, and the second to homosexuality. Seriously, ninety percent of footage showed the actors, naked as the sun, showing their asses like a soft porn snuff film. The other ten percent involves your usual jail house rock film - blood, fists, disputes, and corrupt prison guards. I don't know what is more disturbing, the actual constant showing of asses, or the poor writing and directing abilities of Preston A. Whitmore. Do not watch the movie if you suffer from suicidal tendencies - watching this movie might push a person off the edge. I guarantee this appalling attempt to be creative will give you the strength to go all the way and pull the trigger.

I was amazed at how great this movie was. Recently I've been renting a lot of these types of movies (typicaly "black violence") due to the fact that i enjoy violence in movies. But this one surprised me quite a bit.. The storyline seemed a bit silly at first.. Son gets shot in a crossfire of a sour drug deal and the father gets himself arrested so he can get revenge on the guys who killed him.. While it sounded to me like the father was going to be the main character, it turns out to focus more on one of the 2 people who were arrested for the murder/drug deal.That turned out to be a very good thing. the father (played by Boris Kodje, who's apparently famous... i never heard of him) was a single minded robot bent on revenge. I didn't care too much about his character. However, the convict has to deal with life in prison and learn the rules of the big house if he wants to get out alive.There is quite a bit of violence in this movie, but its nothing you haven't seen on Oz, or just about any other R rated movie. There is nudity in here, but its just the backside of the guys in prison, nothing sexual or anything.I strongly recommend this movie to those that like these types. very well done and the ending is certainly not what i had expected.

I thought "Doing Hard Time" was a decent movie. All the performances are good especially Michael Williams as Craig and Sticky Fingaz as Eddie. The plot is about Mike (Boris Kodjoe) who purposely gets himself thrown in prison because the killers of his child are in the same jail, and he wants revenge. It does have all the clichés you expect in a prison movie (The corrupt guards, every prisoner has a cool nickname\disability). It tries to be different by showing the killer to have a heart and be remorseful and in the long run, it does work. The script is a little weak at points because it sometimes tries too hard to be "the outside the box prison movie".In The End: It's worth seeing for the odd plot line and gritty performances.For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com

If you like badly acted and badly edited low budget movies then this is your flick (Tarantino - take note). I'd recommend 'Baby Boy' with Snoop if you want a good 'from the hood' type movie. Personally speaking I don't think DHT was worth the discounted rate it took to make.It's a prison movie mostly, though there are a few 'outside' scenes. It is low budget. The story makes no sense - I couldn't get in to the main characters mindset at all. There are several scenes that dwell for an inappropriate amount of time on male rear ends in the prison showers and other prison places. I don't like looking at man butt, so that bothered me. The acting sucks too, not just a little bit - but a whole bunch. The editing tries to be artsy but just succeeds in being crappy and bad. The one exception is when the gay bookie character is dancing to an old song while mopping up after hours, that was a decent scene for about 15 seconds.Overall, not worth the time - pretty much garbage.
