None Light Moderate Heavy Language. Jack encounters a young prisoner nicknamed Stone played by Edward Norton. Stone claims he's done enough time for causing the arson murders of his own grandparents years before.
When Jack seems reluctant to release Stone, Stone enlists Lucetta to seduce Jack and blackmail him into releasing Stone early. The remaining survivors of As Above, So Below then confess their sins and go through a manhole before emerging topside on the streets of Paris. As Above, So Below is far from the first - or last - horror film to use Dante's Inferno as a guide when crafting its story, but few have done it as creatively or faithfully.

There is no reason or motivation given for what happened just that he participated in their deaths or at least trying to cover it up. Jack shared that same potential of almost killing a family member his daughter yet he barely bats an eye when Stone tells him the story.
A normal person would have shown some cue of relating to such a shared history. Stone had already suggested to Jack that to be free of his demons he should just let it all go, just burn it up and go on What do you guys think? MerlinMacuser , Feb 4, No one has any thoughts?
