Kit
(Wu Ying), a cop goes undercover to stop the mob's illegal
human/organ trafficking but when his cover is blown, he finds himself
falsely accused and thrown into prison. Prison guard Chai (Tony Jaa)
works side jobs in the prison for extra money to save his dying
daughter, only to discover the Warden is working for the mob, holding
the mob's human trafficking. Both the undercover Cop and Guard's
path cross one another and fates will be intertwined in Director
Pou-Soi Cheang's Kill Zone 2 (2015).
A
prison guard's daughter is dying from leukemia and she desperately
needs to find a matching donor for a bone marrow transplant.
Unbeknownst to both the Guard and the Cop, the Cop is the perfect
match/donor. Both Guard and Cop are tempted by the mob offering them
a easy way out, for the Guard a human sacrifice from their illegal
trafficking to cure his daughter and the Cop to turn a blind eye to
their business and they will (maybe) let him live (unlikely). When
both sides discover each other and that they can help each other, the
Guard and Cop team up to take down the mob once and for all.
This
was a total action film, whenever Tony Jaa is in a film there is
always bone breaking action and blood letting fist fights. This film
was totally about how easy it is for people to follow evil and win,
often the path of good and justice is a harder path, but in the
end...
The
1080p 2.35 X 1 digital High definition image is a solid RED EPIC 4K -
5K shoot, mastered in 2K and with limits here and there. Otherwise,
its fine and the Cantonese DTS-HD MA (Master Audio) lossless 5.1 mix
is a mixdown from the 7.1 soundmaster in better theatrical
screenings, but is still impactful enough here. Extras include
making of the film in 3 parts, deleted scenes and trailers.
