Well, you're not that good looking anyway, and though prison-rape is obviously an awful thing, I just don't think that the fear of it is a great enough force to justify everyone's behaving the way they do. 3) If he's that good looking now, he's going to be good looking when the bruises heal in a few days. Dumb-ass.
On the other hand, Anna Paquin is just too fine for words. And that redeems all, n'est-ce pas?

1) You missed the explanation? It was the big Eastern European (Russian?) guy who was his buddy for most of the movie. At the end, the other mobsters give Monty the chance to kill him.
2) I think that those stakes are pretty high, and the point is that this is a guy who have never been in trouble, never done time, etc. He's just dealing wholesale and gets caught once. So, he goes from living with hot girlfriend, cool dog and nice leather couch to prison, which carries with it the (disgustingly likely and unfortunately accepted by society) risk of rape.
3) You've seen too many movies. If you get the shit beat out of your face like in that movie, it will never look as good again. Plus, I can believe that if you get into prison looking all fucked up, people won't fuck with you.
