Riot

Riot was released in 1997 as a gritty prison action film. Upon its initial release, it received mixed to negative reviews, with critics pointing out its bleak tone, low-budget production values, and thin character development. However, the movie garnered a modest following among fans of prison dramas and action films, who appreciated its raw portrayal of prison life and tense atmosphere. Over the years, Riot's reputation has improved somewhat, with many viewers now considering it an underrated gem within the prison genre. Its realistic setting, shot on location at the Arizona State Prison, adds authenticity that has been applauded in retrospect. While it hasn't achieved widespread cult classic status, it maintains a dedicated niche audience who regard it as a solid, if overlooked, example of late 90s prison cinema.
