Hong Kong, Japanese, Thai, Indonesian action movies, we have seen them all, and now Cambodia enters the action cinema in the same way as other Asian neighbours.
Jailbreak is directed by Jimmy Henderson, with Loy Te and Henderson serving as producers and Jean-Paul Ly as action director.
The film’s cast is headed by Dara Our and Jean Paul Ly playing special task force officers trapped in the prison.
The other casts include Savin Phillip, Celine Tran, Sirivudh Sisowath and Tharoth Sam, the first female Bokator Fighter to make it into the MMA League and winner of the One FC MMA Tournament in 2014.
“It’s like a Cambodian Alcatraz”
Cambodian filmmakers have been working hard to produce the qualified action movie to fit the international market and trailer looks really good. The crew hopes that it can open the doors for more foreign filmmakers to decide Cambodia is a better place to shoot an action film than in countries like Thailand.
Synopsis: What started as a simple escort mission will soon turn to chaos as the prisoners of Koh Kla take over the prison grounds. A special task force gets trapped in the prison will have to fight their way out for survival, to protect a key witness.
Jailbreak is set for release on January 31, 2017.
