somf Yes, there is little dialogue in the film, and yes the film as long odd stretched of the narrative not really moving forward, but I found it fascinating and riveting. The filmmaker does a lot of interesting things. This does not quite flow like any film that I have ever seen. It is almost like snippets of Billy's memory being filmed where long portions are cut out and we go from a an odd confrontation in a group cell to a quick cut of being in the middle of the fourth round of a fight. A combination of one giant dream and a documentary style that may be unique but that I found truly enjoyable though very depressing. I see why people hated this, but if you like the works of filmmakers a little off the mainstream, give this a try. I kept being reminded or the great Alan Parker film Midnight Express due to subject matter, but stylistically the film reminds me of The Florida Project. This isn't Rocky by any means.

atovskip Suspensful story through the whole movie. Definitely a must watch!

ljcawsey 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.

amh-98307 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.
