🥋🔒 DEATH WARRANT (1990): He went in to find the truth — but the truth wants him dead.

“He came for answers, but found only shadows — and the kind of truth that doesn’t let you walk away.”

Detective Louis Burke didn’t enter Harrison Penitentiary to survive.
He went in to uncover the truth.
But in a place built on silence and fear, the truth is the most dangerous thing you can dig up.

“Death Warrant (1990)” fuses gritty crime-thriller atmosphere with bone-crunching martial arts — the kind only early-career Jean-Claude Van Damme could deliver, where one spinning kick can change the outcome, and one stare can freeze an entire cellblock.

Where do you seek justice, when the entire prison is soaked in corruption?

Burke is assigned to go undercover after a string of mysterious inmate deaths.
But what starts as an investigation soon becomes a descent — into a conspiracy darker than any conviction on paper.

From nervous nurses to half-talking wardens… from prisoners with haunted eyes to “The Sandman” — a psychotic killer Burke once put behind bars, now walking the same halls —
Nothing is innocent. Nothing is coincidence. And nothing is safe.

In a world where everything is locked — the truth is the most tightly shackled of all.

The prison itself becomes a character:
Cramped hallways, echoing steel, flickering fluorescent lights — and every door that slams behind Burke is another step into a system that devours its own.

This isn’t about ideals. This is about survival:

• The law can’t be trusted

• The inmates aren’t always monsters

• And Burke begins to wonder if the very system he defends… has already collapsed

When justice is guarded by those who twist the keys, the only thing left to trust — are your fists.

Death Warrant captures the raw pulse of 1990s action:

• Brutal fight scenes, up-close and personal — no slow motion, just sweat, bone, and survival

• Van Damme delivers a performance steeped in stoicism and edge — a man who knows his next strike may be the last true act he ever makes

It’s not a long film. It’s not complex.
But it cuts deep — with a story of truth, betrayal, and men who walked into hell without ever expecting redemption.

Cop. Killer. Inmate. In Harrison, those lines are just doors — and sometimes, they open the wrong way.
