Prisoner of War

"Prisoner of War" follows British RAF Wing Commander James Wright, who is captured by Japanese forces during World War II. As he endures the harsh realities of captivity, Wright's extensive martial arts training from his time in Hong Kong emerges as a significant asset. Faced with brutal hand-to-hand combat challenges, he becomes a formidable opponent for his captors. The film explores the intense conflict and martial competition between Wright and the Japanese soldiers, set against the backdrop of war. While it features reasonable acting and well-executed action sequences, the narrative leans towards a familiar escape plot rather than fully embracing its martial arts premise. Overall, "Prisoner of War" offers a basic yet engaging blend of war and martial arts themes, making it a worthwhile watch for genre enthusiasts.
