Did anyone find it weird that they kind of left the worst fight scenes at the end? Unlike "The Raid" (and the sequel) that builds to this epic fight, "Jailbreak" fizzles out with two super weak action scenes I didn't care for at all.

Everything before that is pure gold but the two final fights both look slow and sloppy.

Also, through the entire film I wondered what had happened to Celina Jade's face. Then I realized it was Celine Tran after an awkward Google search. I had no idea she's an ex-porn star.

There was some of that in the beginning as well and some weird edits and bad camera angles through out, but there was a bit of good too. Mainly when alot of people were fighting was good, which is weird that be better then the few people. Over all though i think they did a good job, some of the oh you can't get me moment's etc. was weird though. The writer and crew needs to work on some of these things and they will have something. Definitely worth a look, Just my opinion.

Yep. Once the fights started, it was GO! There was, however, no buildup in the choreography. In The Raid films, Evans was good about saving certain aspects of Iko & Yayan's choreography for use later on. These guys needed that here.

Wonder if "tran" would be the operative word here. 😉
