A ragtag team of four tough-as-nails cops are tasked with escorting the notorious gangster Playboy to prison. When he is revealed to be a stool pigeon, the real mob boss, Madame Butterfly, puts a price on Playboy’s head. This incites a swarm of hardened inmates to riot across the never-ending maze of cell blocks in pursuit of the bounty. Trapped in the fray with their sleazy charge in tow, the officers must fight their way through a relentless gauntlet of violence, armed only with their wits and lethal hand-to-hand combat skills. Featuring a jaw-dropping display of Cambodian martial arts mayhem peppered with irreverently comic antics, JAILBREAK is “90 minutes of kick-ass action screen time well served” (Film Combat Syndicate).
