I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
People are voting emotionally.
if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
This movie is terrible. No dialogue, no good fights. Lots of tattooed Thai prisoners and some lady boys. Ughhh. Really no redeeming qualities.
I lpve fight films and also true stories, but this was below expectation. Considering this film was meant to be about a boxer fighting for his freedom you would have thought they would have trained the lead actor to actually fight. He cant throw and punch and most of the fight scenes are all over the show and mainly grappling.
This movie's visuals and acting we were done, at an Thai actual prison no less, but it was a bit thin on substance. I saw that it was based on a true story so I expected something truly exceptional to have happened, but I was ultimately a bit let down. Basically it's just what you'd expect if you've seen an episode of "Banged Up Abroad" in a third world country. Not the most interesting film but I suppose shocking if you're completely oblivious to how some poor parts of the world work. There are some good parts and characters that make it better than average.
Let me tell you, this was not an easy watch. I was on the edge of my seat the entire span of the movie. I mean you really experience a taste of prison watching this movie. Astonishing in all aspects, yet very uncomfortable, and at points even scary.The characters were all extremely believable. The scenes all very real as well. Like some others mentioned, not a lot of dialogue, and it really pulls you in. The cinematography and the soundtrack elevate the characters and the scenes even more, becoming immersed to the experiences of Billy Moore. I don't recall a single moment where I turned my head, even though I did want to at some occasions. Some moments you didn't know what to expect. This intense movie immerses you from the beginning to the end. As someone who's struggled in life like many of you out there, you feel that connection to Billy Moore. His struggles and emotions were really felt during the movie. Oh and one more thing, don't watch this with your young kids.
