Another movie without a real story. No twists, turns, highs or lows. This movie could just have well been a documentary about the French prison system that has to deal with Arabs, Italians and other ethnic groups housed in prison complexes. It follows one prisoner's relationship with other inmates, corrupt guards and mobs being run by kingpins within the prison. You know the drill.If you are looking for violence, degradation and grunge then this is for you.
Interrelationships between main actors and outside gangs is totally incoherent . . . also incoherent is why the movie was named The Prophet. No rhyme or reason.
From Yahoo Movies: Condemned to six years in prison, Malik El Djebena, part Arab, part Corsican, cannot read or write. Arriving at the jail entirely alone, he appears younger and more fragile than the other convicts. He is 19 years old. Cornered by the leader of the Corsican gang currently ruling the prison, he is given a number of "missions" to carry out, toughening him up and gaining the gang leader's confidence in the process. Malik is a fast learner and rises up the prison ranks, all the while secretly devising his own plans.
