TCP: Behind Bars

I am so glad that I am able to join this week’s topic. I missed last week’s for I was so busy with fixing our house and all.

Van Damme is one of my favorite actors. He’s so masculine and I love it when he smiles. I have seen several of his movies. When I watched this movie, I almost didn’t finish it, I cannot handle the fact that being in jail is that bad. I got carried away that I just wanted to turn off my DVD player not finish the story, but I had to know the ending, so even if I told myself that I won’t watch this movie again, I  managed to finish it and happy with the result.

When in another country, sometimes, you cannot get justice, so you take matters into your own hands and it would be the biggest mistake you can ever make. This movie made me feel sick to my stomach, I can feel the pain and sufferings of good people who are battling evil.

Kyle LeBlanc is an American working overseas in Russia. When he hears his wife being attacked over the phone, Kyle rushes home to find that he’s too late. The man who killed his wife is found not guilty on lack of evidence. So Kyle takes the law into his own hands, and kills the man to avenge his wife’s death. He is sentenced to life in prison without parole. The Russian prison he is sent to is tough, and the warden amuses himself by putting on fights where he fills his pockets with money by betting on the fights. Kyle begins to break and go crazy, so he is forced into these fights because the warden knows he is a sure thing. Kyle’s cellmate 451 begins to make him think what he fighting for. With that, Kyle knows now he must fight another battle: the fight for inner peace. It is the only way he can become the man he once was.

Happy Tuesday to all!
