“Did you ever, when you were a little kid, used to think that maybe you could do something in life that makes you happy?,” Jeremy Renner’s Mike McLusky asks a friend. Mike’s staring into the middle distance and holding a beer. He completes his thought with a glum ponderousness: “And then you figure out that there’s no such thing as happy?”

Mike works hard at both, as a sort of power-brokering liaison between the prison population and the outside. “Now it’s up to me to keep the rats in that cage content,” Mike tells us in voice-over, “and the keepers from becoming rats themselves.
