Wade as a tough fighter

One thing about this movie that would never ring out true is Wade becoming such a bad azz street fighter type. The guy never lost a fight unless it was when he was getting jumped and outnumbered. He was fighting hardened street fighting criminals and we are supposed to believe that he could beat these guys up. He was a soft mild mannered guy. I know over the course of time he would get tougher and stronger but he was winning fights from the get go.

You don't know his background, maybe he had a tough go of it growing up, scrapping on the street. Maybe he was ex something or other with training...

i think the reason Wade was wining fights from the get go was because he Relized "HOLYSHI T im in prison now" he knew if he had to live among wild animals Wade himself had to become an animal. the only way to stay alive was thru fighting back

Well you know Ive never actually been a big fighter myself, but the few times it has come up in my life I never lost one. I kinda think of it as you never really know what you can do until your presented with a situation. So ya I can buy it. (I'm not saying I coulda fought those prison guys though no, Id probably be a dead man).

Wade was suppose to go to a prison that was for non violent criminals, 1st timers, this movie shows that people are turn into monster when they get send into the U.S prison system, this is true, if he had money and a good lawyer he would of gotten probation.

The prison system in the USA is design to keep people in jail, especially poor people, only people with money, go's to safe low minimum resort non violent criminals prison.
