trailer that smashes for the war film with Scott Adkins

A trailer of Prisoner of Warthe next action film with Scott Adkins has been shared. And unsurprisingly, it knocks in all directions.

Scott Adkins does not have so much a career up to his high kicks. Despite his manifest talents in terms of action and his frankly not disgusting game (although little diversified), the actor and martial artist was too often confined to the sacrificable secondary characters, replaceable henchmen, even if he manages to make a strong impression despite his little screen time. That was the case in Ip-Man 4 Faced with Donnie Yen, in John Wick 4 Faced with Keanu Reeves, in Expendables 2 Faced with Jason Statham or in Triple Threat Faced with Iko Uwais and Tony Jaa.


In the middle of the B series of action more generic than the other, he also has some first roles in rather solid action films: Avengement, Only one will become invincible: redemption, Universal Soldier: Judgment Day or One Shot. And if we believe the trailer, his next film Prisoner of War Apparently everything to join the list.

The trailer of Prisoner of War was unveiled for the San Diego Comic-Con as part of the Extravaganza Kung-Fu Panel. Everything is in the title: the film will take place during the Second World War and will revolve around a prisoner of war, the special forces officer James Wright, captured by the Japanese and detained in a war camp in the Philippines.

Before being executed, Wright and the other prisoners are forced to participate in death battles for the simple pleasure of their jailerswhich surely did not suspect the martial skills of the British soldier.

The scenario therefore looks very skinny and already seen, but in view of the trailer and the pitch, The film has everything from Adkins movie par excellence : He, alone against all, who fights with his body and his rage, not without undoing several enemies at the same time, to satisfy the egotrip. And that always with implacable nervousness and agility, whether it is under the saber, knife, shinai or fists. Difficult therefore not to give in to the songs of the sirens and the sweet sounds of the bones that break.

The film is directed by Louis Mandylor, which we also know as an actor, in Rambo : Last Blood, The Debt Collector With Adkins or Croco’s film The Flood. The scenario was written by Peter Shinkoda, Michael Copon and Scott Adkins. And if that is not enough, Scott Adkins is also on the western poster Day of Reckoning and action thriller Diablo. Neither has a release date yet, but Prisoner of War is expected in VOD on September 19 in the United States.
