'''''Cell 211''''' is a 2009 Spanish film directed by Daniel Monzon. The protagonist, Juan Oliver ([[The Danza|Juan Diego Botto]]), is a young man [[Happily Married]] to the beautiful Elena (Marta Etura), who is 6-months pregnant with their first child, and this is the first day in his new job. All well and right, if that job wasn't as a prison guard and there was a riot in the High Security zone led by the scary convict Malamadre (Luis Tosar) that very same day. Now alone and trapped inside [[Title Drop|Cell 211]], Juan must disguise himself and pretend to be another inmate in order to guarantee his own safety, all while trying to draw a plan to get him out of there.
 
The problem is that [[Gone Horribly Right|he does it so well]], however, that soon he becomes something of a second in command to Malamadre. And everything [[It Got Worse|gets worse]] from there. Very, very, ''very'' worse.

* [[Anti-Hero]]: Malamadre, though he's introduced as a [[Complete Monster]] (He isn't).
* [[As Long as It Sounds Foreign]]: Carlos Bardem ([[Poor Man's Substitute|brother to most famous Javier]]) seems to be aiming for a "generic Latin American" accent more than for a Colombian one.
