Gladiator Days: Anatomy of a Prison Murder

Rating:
Summary: Shockingly graphic yet poignant
Review: A shocking look at crime and punishment. Never before has there been a documentary so real and graphic in its look at prison life. Troy Kell, the assailant, killed a black prisoner in a Utah prison in 1995. The attack was caught on tape, and depicts the horrific stabbing of the prisoner by Kell. What's perhaps just as fascinating is that Kell is an articulate, intelligent, smooth talking young man who could just as easily have become a doctor, lawyer or something comparable. But ultimately we realize that Kell is one thing -- a natural born killer. A fascinating piece.

Summary: Chilling Reality of the US Penal System
Review: Articulate, clever and charismatic, Troy Kell, reveals himself to be a power broker and pawn of the US criminal justice system. Parents with problem children should watch the film and show their kids. The film is like a cold slap in the face.
One of Kell's accomplices goes from a minimal sentence of forgery to murderer on death row by associating with Kell.

Rating:
Summary: Brutal - Very educational
Review: This movie should be shown to high school kids to scare them away from prison, because it shows the true brutality of prison life.
Not for the squeamish.

Summary: True to Life
Review: Troy Kell is very charming, intelligent, .... yet also A cold blooded killer. It is a very realistic look into the US prison system. The death in this movie, is hard to watch- you'll be blown away that it was allowed to contuine for so long. AFter spending the last 2 years working in the prison system, this film shows a realistic view as to the daily life there.
