A private user reviewed A Prayer Before Dawn (2018)
It Fell Short
I didn't go gaga over A Prayer Before Dawn, but I didn't really hate it either. Based on the true life story and novel of Billy Moore, he is arrested and put in a prison known as The Bangkok Hilton. At times I thought this might establish itself and grab me. However, the film was a little choppy at times and didn't quite get over the hump.
