Personally, this has Sam Shepard in it, which means I'm seeing it.
Looking beyond that, the trailer doesn't give much to really draw us in. The cause for the lead (Stephen Dorff) to be sent to prison is compelling, but there's no real sense what the purpose of the story is beyond that. The point I take away from the trailer is that prison is violent and unpleasant. Okay, I get it, and...?
Beware of trailers that tell too much or too little.

My prediction: the movie will show us that our prison system is corrupt and there's not a dime's worth of difference between the guards and the prisoners.
