Double Team?
Over 10 years ago I saw this movie that I have been trying to track down. It was kind of a modern take on that old show the prisoner. The guy was a spy or something and gets injured on a mission and when he wakes up is on an island where they can't leave. They have to check in with a blood sample every morning. Ultimately he recovers from his wounds ans starts planning his escape. I remember this one scene where he is using cigarettes burning beside the tube to train him self to hold his breath longer. Ultimately he escape on one of the supply airplane drop/pickups...
