Review of Skin Trade

I wanted to watch this simply because of the action stars and I expect some great action sequences. I haven't seen any of Ekachai Uekrongtham's films. Dolph Lundgren usually writes or directs movies that he stars in. I don't know whether that's a good or bad thing. This is the only writing credit for actor Steven Elder. I haven't seen Gabriel Dowrick's other writing credit. John Hyams who did the rewrites has directed and written some of the Universal Soldier sequels. Both of which I liked. The fact that he had to rewrite some of this says something about how it will be or would have been. Oh wow that was pretty messed up and sad. That fight scene was sadly nothing really special. Well I saw that coming. I mean that's what happens when you think you're a tough cookie. Why did they make it such an emotional like scene. There was no real connection to that character. I wonder what happened there. That's pretty messed up. Ah a typical way to try and keep attention when the movie isn't all that great. Celina Jade is quite the bombshell. Thank goodness they got there in time. She is way too awake for someone who was sleeping. Oh damn that's pretty brutal. This music feels so out of place. Wait so is he playing The Punisher again haha? Well it seems his ethical compass has broken. When guns are involved things get pretty gruesome here. What in the world is up with that? The fight scenes have been mostly uninteresting which isn't good for a movie like this. Get down after the shots have been fired makes no sense. Okay finally a good fight! Seriously was he really just yelling at a dead body for answers expecting a response. That's a bit silly, but If that's what they want to do. Well that is an interesting little twist of things. The final showdown so it better be awesome. That was kind of sweet. Ah man they can't end it like that. Ah there we go with statistics. The acting was decent considering. The action could have been better since this is of course an action film. The story itself felt a bit lopsided. I was pretty disappointed.
