During the Second World War, an American soldier escapes his Japanese captors and flees into the jungles of Borneo, where he is found and taken in by Dayak headhunters. Two years later, British commandos arrive and are amazed to discover that the American has become king of the tribe. Initially reluctant to help the commandos, the king wages an all-out war on the Japanese after the invaders destroy his village. (official distributor synopsis)

Not very convincing in terms of the plot and the direction. Milius knows how to do fight scenes, but he doesn't show it here. And he also doesn’t avoid clichés, which is often annoying. If I hadn't seen similar films and couldn't compare, I would probably be more positive, but this is just mediocre.
