O.G. follows Louis (Jeffrey Wright) a maximum-security prison inmate whose impending release is upended when he takes a new arrival under his wing. Starring Jeffrey Wright, Theothus Carter and William Fichtner.
O.G. is an even-handed film in which the eruptions of violence in prison are not handled in a macho determination to be "edgy" or "gritty" or sensationalistic, and because of that it feels realistic.
The storyline is powerful and intense, but it's the way the real world seeps through the script and into the plot that makes this such an incredible film.
Can be a tad slow, a touch too simple, and even a little distracted from making a larger, more declarative point about modern incarceration. But by carving its own path through Louis...it's nothing short of original.
Wright's performance in O.G. is one of the more compelling ones we've seen this year, and the film itself lets viewers look at a view of prison life that's as realistic as anything we've seen.
