I was very pleased to see a movie where the conditions of a foreign prison were held true. I know some people might struggle with some of the story line that is hard to swallow, however, the camera work and the fighting choreography are some of the best I have seen. I really liked the fact that the fighters used mixed martial arts and hand to hand combat. I like also the story line that a man who is falsely accused and sent to do time, even though he could rebel, finds a way to learn something about himself and do good things for others. there are some non-fiction books that can be picked up that cover true American stories that have a similar flair. It is also refreshing to note that the director did not try to say negative things about any Nation, but rather proved something Universal. Corruption is corruption, whether you eat it out of a silver bowl or a hog trough.
