Roger Ebert
Though 'Shot Caller' might be the victim of unfortunate timing... it’s nevertheless a decent genre entry that often disturbs by what it leaves unsaid rather than what it chooses to underline.

The Hollywood Reporter
Shot Caller may cover little new ground but navigates familiar terrain with considerable skill.

Variety
Frankly, most audiences are probably expecting a more kinetic thriller, but 'Shot Caller' is all about potential energy, and that lends it an unexpected but welcome seriousness.

Observer
Unflinchingly written and directed... it’s too unnerving to recommend to the squeamish, but for anyone curious enough to find out what really happens to turn decent people into savages in the bedlam of the American prison system, this is one for the must-see list.

Nikolaj Coster-Waldau GETS IT DONE here. He gives a hell of a performance and the whole thing has a proper crime drama vibe.

Rotten Tomatoes
Shot Caller's weakness for action movie clichés is capably offset by strong work from Nikolaj Coster-Waldau in the central role.

Rotten Tomatoes
Shot Caller is eye-opening and brutal. The story shines a huge spotlight on the 'how to make a criminal' nature of modern prisons.
