Felon (2008)

John Smith: "When your life is defined by a single action, it changes the concept of time."

John Smith: "Love is the most subtle force on earth."

Wade Porter: "Yes, prison desensitizes you. But it also forces you to see what's most important. Family. And loyalty. Because a con like you knows neither exist in this place. So don't run from who you've become, felon. Embrace it. Grow from it. And you'll never lose sight of what truly matters. That's my final piece of advice, Wade Porter. You protect your family at all costs. Even if you're forced to kill again. Because if I had to, I'd wipe out the whole planet to get mine back. So long, friend."

Wade Porter: "They never broke him."


There are differences between a "Bad Guy" (someone who faces a problematic situation and too weak to stand strong against wrongful actions) and a "Tough Guy" (someone who faces problematic situations and have become stronger by them).  Both don't yield to a peaceful society too much.  Both will stab a person but the "Tough Guy" will resist stabbing someone unless he is faced with a self preservation conflict.  Nor will he do so with an evil intent.  Circumstances bring us to how we value life, our own and others.  It's those subtle experiences that can make you tougher or break you. -Andrew Szeto
