Surprisingly incoherent and boring

I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Indochina, 1959. A Wild West town controlled by the criminal class: Vietnamese warlords and European war criminals. Den-Dhin-Chan Labor Camp is run by four such dangerous men. The worst prison in the land, it is here that a European, former-champion boxer Martin Tilman has made a name for himself fighting tournaments, on which wealthy criminals gamble in high stakes events. I've said it once and i'll say it again Scott Adkins deserves way more than this direct to dvd straight up garbage movies cause he is actually a pretty decent actor as a whole.

Martial arts actor Scott Adkins usually has a good sense of what film projects to pick, so when I found this particular film of his on Netflix, I took the opportunity to see it. It's not one of his very best movies, but overall it does have enough good things to warrant it a recommendation. Yes, it could have been a lot better than it ultimately is. The script is for the most part a collection of plot turns and occurrences that you will have seen many times before. The characters are also not that new as well. There are also some slow patches that will on occasion have the viewer telling the movie to simply get on with it. Also, there is a weird narration device throughout that doesn't really add anything, instead coming across as a possible post-production patch-up job. But most people don't watch movies like this for their writing. Instead, they watch them for plentiful (and well done) action sequences. And when it comes to this part of the movie, things are pretty well done. The action (a mix of gunplay and martial arts) is very well crafted. In fact, it's pretty brutal, exciting, and bloody at times; whoever provided the fake blood for this movie probably comfortably retired when filming was completed. As I indicated earlier, this is far from a perfect movie. It certainly isn't for everybody at any time. I would say that if you are in the mood for some brutal and well crafted action, and don't mind sitting through an awkward and very familiar story, the movie will grab your attention for 95 minutes.

I chose to watch this film because of the leading actor alone Scott Adkins, but by the time the intro Narration was finished i was hocked to continue watching.Whilst most of Scott Adkins's films I've seen are directed by Issac Florentine, this was the first I saw that didn't, whilst the film is still great it proves that only Florentine knows how to truly direct Adkins.For fans of Undisputed III theirs a treat in the climactic end "rematch" between Adkins and Marko Zakor, the later is wonderful and oily throughout the film and you just hate his character but love the portrayal.The story is more built up than most Films of this caliber with numerous story arcs that reach a satisfying conclusion and great acting by all involved, i cannot recommend this film enough.

The film takes place in 1959 Vietnam after the French pulled out and before the Americans arrived. Scott Atkins plays Martin Tillman, expert fighter wanted by MI6. He is imprisoned and is used as a pit fighter. Eventually he is set free. Many kick boxing fights ensue.The film had a narrator because Scott never talks much. I believe the guy narrating the story died midway through, but that is the magic of Hollywood. The second half has less man on man fighting and more machete and gun fighting. Not much in the way of plot. Just men without shirts pounding each other.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
