Written and directed by Pulitzer Prize winner David Mamet, this film follows Henry Johnson, portrayed by Evan Jonigkeit, as he confronts a moral crisis after an unexpected act of compassion dramatically alters his path. The story explores themes of power, justice, and the personal consequences of allowing others to dictate one’s course in life. As Henry seeks guidance from figures of authority, including his cellmate Gene, played by Shia LaBeouf, he navigates a complex world of manipulation and ethical ambiguity.
