Thailand’s prison is not the place to be in. Actor has done a great job.
Un film assez sombre et cru. Histoire forte d'autant plus qu'elle est vraie
Really enjoyed it. Pretty brutal and gritty.
There’s something about Joe’s acting that just made this movie perfect
Crazy story .. I was intrigued and the movie kept me interested... Not much of a deep story but yet very entertaining... Worth the watch
A sad heartfelt story with great performances, great action sequences, and a compelling story that dragged on a little too much at times
It's great on a first watch, meh on a second. The acting and violence are great. But the structure collapses in the final 20 minutes
Very gritty and dark prison film with the thrill of boxing added in. Enjoyable but very slow
Joe Cole's acting is amazing. Hard to watch and heavy at times but very interesting. Solid movie.
Can't remember the small details of this movie but I do remember enjoying it
