Jungleground (1995)

Lt. Jake Cornell gets his ass trapped in Jungleground, an isolated, lawless zone within the larger city structure. He must escape the mean streets within a set time or there’ll be consequences for more than just himself.
It takes parts of The Warriors (1979) and Escape from NY (1981) and merges them with a few new threads, neither of which are at odds with the cheesy fun times provided by the others.
Piper is a good fit to the character type needed. He's tough but sensitive and trained to see the bigger picture.
What lets it down the most is the weak villain. He’s not mean enough, nor believable in the role, being too young and handsome. He looks like he just walked off the set of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV series.
