Japanese/Korean POW film

Posted by Dsalter92


I’m trying to find a film that I can’t remember the name of, it was a Japanese/Korean or another Asian film, about either prisoners of war or it being in like a community being captured and guarded, and they had to escape by climbing over a crane of some sort on to ship and a battle between guards and escapees started towards the end, I think it was a fairly recent film say post 2010’s but it may have been earlier, can anyone help please

Kinda sounds like it could be "The Battleship Island" (2017), Korean film. POW camp on Hashima Island, big escape sequence at the end involving the island's infrastructure.
