What do you get when you combine transsexuals, homosexuals, and one rapist prison guard? The new film directed by Jules Stewart (Kristen Stewart’s mother), K-11, that’s what. In Stewart’s directorial debut we have a record producer, Raymond Saxx Jr ( Goran Visnjic), who finds himself in jail for murder after a long night of partying. This ain’t no regular section of jail, though. He’s put in the section for homosexuals/transsexuals even though he’s neither. He’s also innocent of the murder charges he’s been dealt, of course, but someone is out to get him for sure. He has to think of a plan to clear his name and get out before the prison guard has his way with him.
K-11 is one of the most bizarre films I’ve ever seen. It falls under the drama category, but it’s so hard to tell what the purpose of the film is supposed to be. It definitely sticks with you, though. Plus, recognizable actors such as Jason Mewes, Tommy “Tiny” Lister, Kate del Castillo, and Portia Doubleday take on roles in this prison flick. It’s all about drugs, rape, and the inmates trying to get justice against one very bad prison guard. I can’t say it’s a great film- bouncing all over the place between super serious, not so fun scenes and then some comedic scenes, but it’s definitely different. It’s released today, check out the trailer and see if this is your cup of tea.
