Mak Ho Pong’s jailhouse trilogy which began with Breakout Brothers in 2020 now comes to ahead with its third installment. Its mix cast of new and returning characters includes Patrick Tam, Louis Cheung, Adam Pak and Justin Cheung along with Ron Ng and Kenny Wong, and Moses Chan.
Ex-Warden Tang is sent to prison because of corruption whereas Jun is sent back for a jail sentence because of the failure of breakout. Jun tempts Tang to help another breakout as Tang is so familiar with the structure of the prison, both get a commitment immediately. They even plant Big Roller in order to have a successfully breakout out. However, Jun finds out Tang plays a trick on him so that Jun is forced to turns his coat to Big Roller, Mak and even the new Warden Ma to disclose Tang’s conspiracy for their safe.
Breakout Brothers 3 is already playing in Hong Kong SAR theaters as of today. The first film managed to get some air time in the festival circuit including during the New York Asian Film Festival last year so, despite the politics at hand maybe the second chapter will get some mobility, or the new film for that matter. Fingers crossed I suppose.
