In a dystopian and social commentary about the prison system “Chain Gang All Stars” is about two top tier gladiators who are forced to fight other prisoners to the death for the entertainment of the masses. With a “Hunger Games” type of media this story is wonderful and terrifying and horrendous in what humans will do to others in the name of punishment and entertainment.
