Overview
A story set in Indochina in 1959, a lawless land controlled by the criminal class: Vietnamese warlords and European war-criminals. Den-Dhin-Chan Labor Camp is run by four such dangerous men. The worst prison in the land, it is here that an Irish, former-champion boxer Martin Tillman has made a name for himself fighting tournaments, on which wealthy criminals gamble in high stakes events. When Tillman is due for release, he just wants to return home, but the corrupt forces running the jail will do everything in their power to keep him locked down. When all that Tillman holds dear is taken away in a vicious act of violence, he is forced to confront the men responsible and take his revenge. The birth of a legend.

Viewing Notes
Soft 6 for this JVJ flick which casts Juju Chan as a love interest then fridges her. Dumb! In the opening sequence when we see Cung Le and Mark Zaror, expectations are set p high. Sadly the movie never reaches them. Jesse V seems more interested in squibs and blowing up heads than good martial arts combat. And that Keith David voice over does it no favors.
But Adkins looks good and we get a little fighting action with Zaror. Just wish we had more of that and less blood spurting everywhere. Still mad about wasting Juju Chan
