Samuel LovePrisoner of War takes the usual Scott Adkins throwback beat-’em-up formula and drops it into a WWII POW camp, resulting in one of the more unique slices of martial arts schlock in some time. This ass-kicking, action-packed romp is filled with impeccably choreographed fight sequences that will have you cheering. Totally unchallenging in the narrative department, Prisoner of War asks you to switch your brain off and enjoy the ride – and if you’re someone of simple pleasures, you’ll have a blast. A real old-school corker.
Synopsis
Inspired by real World War II events, British RAF Wing Commander James Wright is shot down during the Battle of Bataan and captured by the Japanese. Thrown into a prisoner-of-war camp, he is forced into the ring to fight for survival in brutal hand-to-hand combat against skilled opponents. However, the soldiers get more than they bargained for when Wright’s years of training in Hong Kong prove him to be a formidable adversary. Blending expertly choreographed action with a unique story, this edge-of-your-seat war thriller stars martial arts master Scott Adkins, Peter Shinkoda, and UFC’s Cowboy Cerrone.
Prisoner of War will be available on DVD, Blu-ray & Digital from 10th November
