This movie is only meant to gore. All hype but no real substance in the story. Firstly, Billy is not an honourable person even towards his fellow inmates. Secondly, Joe is not a convincing Muay Thai actor. I was grinding through waiting for the end, but there was nothing.

Visually stunning substance.....story got in the way of highlighting a grave human rights issue
