Savage Dog (2017)
A story set in Indochina in 1959, a lawless land controlled by the criminal class: Vietnamese warlords and European war-criminals. Den-Dhin-Chan Labor Camp is run by four such dangerous men. The worst prison in the land, it is here that an Irish, former-champion boxer Martin Tillman has made a name for himself fighting tournaments, on which wealthy criminals gamble in high stakes events. When Tillman is due for release, he just wants to return home, but the corrupt forces running the jail will do everything in their power to keep him locked down. When all that Tillman holds dear is taken away in a vicious act of violence, he is forced to confront the men responsible and take his revenge. The birth of a legend.

Simply Perfect
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Just Bad... one of Scott's worse plot,acting and narration all bad and this is coming from a huge Scott Adkins. Only thing enjoyable was the final fight scene. If your a fan like i am stay away from this movie you'll be highly disappointed.
I chose to watch this film because of the leading actor alone Scott Adkins, but by the time the intro Narration was finished i was hocked to continue watching.Whilst most of Scott Adkins's films I've seen are directed by Issac Florentine, this was the first I saw that didn't, whilst the film is still great it proves that only Florentine knows how to truly direct Adkins.For fans of Undisputed III theirs a treat in the climactic end "rematch" between Adkins and Marko Zakor, the later is wonderful and oily throughout the film and you just hate his character but love the portrayal.The story is more built up than most Films of this caliber with numerous story arcs that reach a satisfying conclusion and great acting by all involved, i cannot recommend this film enough.
I have to admit I have been looking forward to Savage Dog since I first heard about it getting made. The cast alone will be of great interest to action fans -Adkins, Zaror, Le, Kulich and a very cool Keith David.As always Scott Adkins leads the cast well, with lots of action and fights to keep the story going. A good mixture of fights and guns to keep everyone content.Give this film the chance it deserves, enjoy it - I know I did
Like you guys already know Scott Adkins, Marko Zaror and Cung Le all great martial art actor and for the first time they teaming up in this movie Savage Dog direct by Jesse V. Johnson the result is pretty average and meh.Don't expect with all the named i list up there so you will get a ball to the wall movie with action after action in pact is take a while to get to there but the leading up is very boring and dragging.Never in my life going to a Scott Adkins movie make me said that but really with the run time about 1h 34min the movie had to be fast paced and non stop fun but the subplot involving the Scott and Juju Chan with the local army run by Vladimir Kulich always hold the fun factor of this movie back.When the big final fight happen the movie does get better when Scott go full Rambo in the jungle slice and shoot enemies left to right leaving behind a mountain of corpses but one of the highlight of this movie is the fight between Scott and Cung Le is very disappointed even through it later been fixed when Scott face off with Marko with the result is a bloody gory knife fight but up until that the whole movie is already a bad taste in my mouth.Hope Jesse upcoming movie Triple Threat and Accident Man both staring Scott Adkins is much better
