Why didn't the fat guy run out of the door he entered the showers from?
I'm guessing the showers don't have multiple exits. Most locker rooms I've traversed, there's really only one way in or out. The exception is if you are going FROM somewhere TO somewhere, like going from a health club lobby to a health club pool. But in prison there is no "to".
I have to say, Phillip Seymour Hoffman was the first place my brain went when I saw that guy, too.
I am completely baffled by the prison walk sequence, though. Between all the gruff clipped dialogue and the grungy soundtrack, it felt like a mix between the opening of Arkham Asylum and an episode of The Shield. Except in both those instances, something happened; in this intro, basically nothing happened after the stabbing, which apparently was sanctioned by the guards and was for a perfectly legitimate reason that neither the victim nor the viewer are allowed to know.
