Believe it or not, this little Van Damme vehicle isn't too bad. Basically, the story revolves around a man who kills his wife's murderer (who got off because of family connections) and is then sent to a tough prison and must learn to survive and deal with an assortment of colorful characters. The warden stages fights to bet on and eventually VD becomes involved, all the while losing his morals. The fights are not the usual VD style; there are no flying kicks or special kung fu maneuvers
it's just brutal street fighting (with a side of wrestling). For being a direct-to-video release, the production all around is quite decent, despite a couple cheesy plot points. If you're a fan of prison flicks, you'll probably enjoy this one.
