Deathmatch (aka Ring Of Death) (2008)

Prison movies only have one plot - a innocent man (either wrongly convicted or an undercover cop) is sent to jail to expose something illegal that is happening there. Johnny Messner (Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid) is sent undercover to prison to investigate claims of cage fights between inmates that are being broadcast on the internet. The story is mundane, the fights are okay, but Stacy Keach is fantastic and steals every scene with his demented and excessive performance as the warden (perhaps parodying his role on Prison Break).
