Would you watch this:
Tom is an American Superintendent at a Maximum Security Prison in Dallas, Texas.
He takes a trip to Norway? Why? They are extraditing a criminal from the US to
Norway. The criminal murder(ed) a Norwegian politician.
He goes along to make sure things get done right. Also he has an old friend in
Norway.
He sees for the first time how different the prison is there. Lack of guards, etc.
Nothing is that locked up etc. Relative comfort.
He's worried that the prisoner will escape or harm someone. They assure this is
how they do things in Norway and it is actually safer/better for society.

Tom is not convinced.
After a year they release the prisoner. He is assumed to be re-rehabilitated.
Audience is not convinced. Tom finds out about the release from a news article or
media post.
He decides to go back to investigate. And see if he really is re-rehabilitated or still
a threat.
He meets the Super there, who confirms he was released. Tom asks where he is
now. The prisoner has been working at a subway for a month.
Tom goes to meet him. His English is not great. Audience believes Tom is
crazy/stupid to go find him.
Audience fears for Tom, as they too suspect the Ex-con is still capable of murder.
Later the Con helps/saves Tom's life from a potential theft.
Eventually Tom sees the benefits of the Norway prison system. He plans to
implement something similar in America. Faces resistance from public his
superiors etc.
They say it won't work in America. He argues it will work anywhere. People are
People.
Racism etc. biases from Americans. They are white they can be fixed. [Blacks and
Hispanics are unreasonable/inferior they cannot be fixed.].
Lots of hate for Tom, trying to do what is good for society. Death threats etc.
Few supporters.
An attempt is taken with a lot of risk on a few select individuals showing potential
for rehab. Some are murders and rapists.
Tom heads this initiative. Gets to know them as people. Audience is a bit creeped
out at first. Starts to see what Norway got right.
Later he wants to set one Hispanic boy (ex gang member) free, fights the courts
etc. to make it possible.
Youth has shown remorse and understands what he did: Gang initiation murder.
He is granted reduced sentence and is killed by his own Gang after a
confrontation. He looks like he might shoot or try to defend himself, instead
'decides' not to.
Tom is heart broken.
Movie shows benefits of Norway/rehab program and does not definitively prove
this works, as the youth was killed too early to find out.

THE END
This sounds stupid and the viewer wouldn't react the way you think they would
prison authorities dont get to travel the world to take inmates in, police brings the inmate in
This is fucking dumb, OP go fuck yourself you cuck faggot bitch
>>66925427
Ok Fine. What if the prisoner specifically asked for him?
What about the part where prison is an industry run for profit that doesn't want to actually release or rehabilitate anybody
>>66925948
Yes it is. So 'Tom' would be fighting that industry...
>>66925434
Thank you for the 'constructive' comment.
>>66925874
lel yeah because that's how that works
So what would you give it on Rotten tomatoes?
>>66926377
sure..
>>66926395
11%-23%
It honestly doesn't sound that good
Too bluntly political, it lacks intelligence and subtlety
Basically a Michael Moore-esque flick but even more hamfisted
>>66925374
>Movie shows benefits of Norway/rehab program
So it's hard fiction.
>>66925874
>"Hey, I know I'm a violent criminal, but I want this certain person to take me to the place I'm being extradited to okay? Trust me, on my honor as a murdering criminal I have no ulterior motives in choosing this person."

>>66926429
Upto 23% pretty generous ;)
>>66926454
Maybe he does have an ulterior motive....to show how awesome his country is!!
>>66926559
The point is it would never be allowed you fucking dingbat.
>>66926454
yah hard-fiction or a fictional biopic?
>>66926636
dingbat? what is this 1929 hollywood?
...
I think all movie ideas should go through 4chan before hitting the screen... would save a lot of grief in public.
I just got this book. Today. So I haven't read it yet. I will now.
>>66926636
i screen grabbed this comment it was so good.
no joke.
Well thanks Folks. and this message is for any of you hopefuls...
there's a decent-good movie in there somewhere but as illustrated in that form or shit treatment or whatever, that isn't it, for exactly the reasons >>66926429 stated.
>>66927363
Thank you sire. You have been most helpful! Now to get to work... ugh.
