Viewing Notes

Needed something simple to watch bc I was so exhausted but not ready to crash. Spun this up again mainly for the cast. Apparently the actors got involved to help out the director thru a difficult period. Fun to see older Jimmy Wang Yu as the grizzled prison boss.

Supposedly the original cut was 2 hours which I’d love to see. This is not a great movie but interesting for all the parties involved. That ending is just nuts!
