      Reversal

      There is a place where the threat is daily communication, and the law of the jungle is "commonplace"; there, power = chance of survival. Finding ways to make yourself strong is a very serious matter there. It allows you to stand in this crazy environment, it will keep you calm, gain health and self-esteem.

      Since I was young, I have watched many prison-themed films. The first night the hero of this film had just been in prison, I...

      poor person must have something mean

      The whole story of this movie has a large description of the tattoos of prison inmates. In fact, in the entire prison, only Billy Bai has no tattoos. In the end, he was also affected by one tattoo. After a long time, the inmates next to him were comforted and comforted. It was talking, and gave a very long shot. Little Billy also saw sweat on his forehead, breathless, but the master got a tattoo after finishing work? Oops. . . Look at the size and complexity of other people's tattoos, and...

      What else can you do in prison besides picking up soap?

      Prison movies can let the audience feel a moment of imprisonment, and then they will know the sweetness of liberation .

      The movie has a curious function.

      Just like a prison movie, the audience has never been in prison, but they have a glimpse of prison life .

      Among the many prisons in the...

      I am the messenger of purgatory, I come from the world!

      The feature of this film is a very realistic representation of the prisons in Thailand. It is said that many shots are actually taken in prisons in Thailand. After watching the film, it really shocked the viewers in this respect, and many netizens said I would rather die than go to a Thai prison. After watching this film, the editor feels the same. In an environment where evil gathers, perhaps evil is the only way out for self-protection, and sharpness is the best weapon to protect oneself....

      Give him a point entirely because of purgatory, because China's purgatory does not allow you to shoot. .

      It’s not difficult for Bill to get to jail. You saw it but didn’t experience it. The whole city doesn’t wear clothes. Is it because the only heroine sees you (Bill) for your looks? The boss, his enemy entered, what is the effect of that nearly a minute of hatred? The director of you or him, France is also going through the back door. Then China is pretty good. Damn, I was so pissed off after watching it. I spent two hours watching a film like this, and gave him a point for my friends to see....

      A very beautiful sports movie with an uncomfortable portrayal of prison. After watching the entire film, I didn't feel that the story was trying to prove the superiority of the race. It was clearly a personal redemption. It just happened that the story happened in a completely different cultural...

      The director found a very clever way of expression, using visual language to narrate, which improved the visibility a lot. The difference in skin color has become a talisman here. For the old characters, it is not worth discussing and is weak. The overall design is a plus for the cinematic...

    Evaluation action

    "Midnight Cry" meets "Boxer", creating an outstanding film. "A Prayer Before Dawn" uses a large number of handheld cameras to shoot from the protagonist's perspective, leading the audience to experience Muay Thai fighting at close range. A single punch and kick is enough to make the audience gasp. There is not much dialogue in this film. In Billy's world of purgatory, a group of sweaty brawny men fought with flesh and blood. The mixing...
