Director Ekachai Uekrongtham (The Coffin) changes direction with his latest venture, a fast-paced collaboration with Thai superstar Tony Jaa. It's been a long time since Jaa had a bona fide hit on his hands and there's little chance of this one breaking the mould, however, he is joined by some awesome talent.
Dolph Lundgren (The Expendables) shares top-billing with the pintsized wonder, but he's not the only big Hollywood star to make an appearance. Sons of Anarchy regulars are currently seeking new employment, which means the likes of Ron Perlman (Hellboy) and Peter Weller (Robocop) have some free time on their hands.
Michael Jai White, fresh from duties on Arrow, more than makes up the numbers in this decent looking action movie. Set in and around Bangkok, guilty pleasures don't come around that often these days. See it on iTunes and On Demand from April 23, 2015 and in US theatres from May 8, 2015.
Synopsis: After his family is killed by a Serbian gangster with international interests. NYC detective Nick goes to S.E. Asia and teams up with a Thai detective to get revenge and destroy the syndicates human trafficking network.
Just so you know, Tony Jaa is not the main character, Dolph Lundgren is (he wrote the script and produced the film).
ReplyDeleteBut this being a Thai trailer, Tony Jaa takes centre stage.
