Last Prisoner (2025)
“Some walls can’t hold a man with nothing to lose.”
Last Prisoner (2025) is the year’s most explosive new action thriller — a gritty, relentless ride led by an unexpectedly powerful performance from Frank Grillo as Jack Rourke, a former black-ops soldier turned inmate who becomes the last man standing in the deadliest prison uprising ever recorded.
Set inside Blackstone Penitentiary, a brutal maximum-security prison built to hold the world’s most dangerous criminals, the film begins with a coordinated attack that locks down the facility and unleashes chaos. But the attack is no coincidence — it’s a cover for a darker agenda involving a rogue CIA faction, a hidden assassin, and a secret buried beneath the prison floors. When all systems fail and the guards are slaughtered, Rourke must battle both inmates and mercenaries to uncover the truth — and escape alive.
Director David Leitch (John Wick, Bullet Train) brings his signature hard-hitting style, crafting hand-to-hand fight scenes and gunfights that are raw, tightly choreographed, and brutal. The prison setting is claustrophobic and atmospheric, while the pacing never lets up. Naomi Scott plays a fearless prison medic who becomes Rourke’s unlikely ally, adding heart and tension to the chaos.
Last Prisoner feels like a throwback to ‘90s action classics but upgraded with modern brutality and emotional depth. It’s part Escape from Alcatraz, part The Raid, and 100% badass. With a twist ending that flips everything on its head, this is more than just an action movie — it’s a survival mission drenched in blood, betrayal, and redemption.
Don’t miss the final 15 minutes. You’ll forget to breathe.
