Scott Adkins and Louis Mandylor have been two peas in a pod for a while now having starred together in Jesse V. Johnson’s Avengement and both The Debt Collector films. Their latest work, Prisoner Of War, reunites the two with Mandylor (3 Days In Malay, Operation Blood Hunt) back in the director’s chair from a script written by Adkins and by Marc Clebanoff, and with Adkins once again in starring capacity.
Starring martial arts icon Scott Adkins as British SAS officer James Wright, Prisoner of War tells the story of a soldier captured by the Japanese and held in a Philippine POW camp. Before the entire colony embarks upon the Bataan Death March, Wright and his fellow prisoners are forced to compete in brutal death matches for the entertainment of their captors. Adkins puts in a career best performance as the man who may be able to save them all.
Also starring are Peter Shinkoda, Michael Copon, Gabbi Garcia, and Cowboy Cerrone.
Prisoner Of War last screened in April as part of the Beverly Hills Film Festival, and will play before an audience at the third edition of Big Bad Film Fest in August. Well Go USA will release the film in theaters and on Digital beginning September 19.
