I liked to movie. However, I think the main point of conflict felt contrived. As in, there wasn't much to be in conflict about.

SPOILER
I'm not talking about the idea of assisting your enemy, but the way one prisoner took it upon himself to decide the fate of all the others and how a previously self-centered criminal would cover for this guy when his own life was at stake. I think in reality survival would have been the #1 concern. The other prisoners would have done away with him day one rather than allow him to get them all killed. That part of the plot just seemed a bit hollow and idealized to me.
