Jailbreak(HKAFF 2017)

Khmer cinema roars into action with the wall-to-wall brawler Jailbreak, the third feature from Cambodia-based Italian filmmaker Jimmy Henderson. Four police officers are assigned the seemingly simple mission of escorting criminal Playboy to a high-security prison. However, Madame Butterfly, the leader of Playboy’s gang, has caught wind that he will squeal and wants him dead. Confronted with a mass breakout situation, the officers must fight tooth and nail through an entire jail’s worth of assailants plus Madame Butterfly’s henchwomen in order to protect their charge. French-Cambodian actor Jean-Paul Ly, whose stunt credits include Doctor Strange and Lucy, makes his leading man debut alongside local martial artists in Cambodia’s answer to The Raid.
