Sometimes a trailer comes along that really takes us by surprise. I received an email today about Magnet Releasing’s SKIN TRADE, starring Dolph Lundgren and Tony Jaa. Being a fan of both guys I was automatically intrigued, but after watching the trailer I was absolutely excited. This looks like an awesome throwback to 1980s R-rated action movies in the best possible way… and the cast is awesome too! Outside of Lundgren and Jaa (which is a great pairing to begin with), you have Ron Perlman playing the bad guy, and Michael Jai White, Peter Weller and Celina Jade rounding out the ensemble. Take a look at the trailer and see if you don’t like what you see as well. Bottom line is we don’t get movies like this much anymore (outside of the over-packed EXPENDABLES movies), so when one comes along that actually looks good, it’s worth noting. Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
New Jersey detective, Nick Cassidy (Dolph Lundgren) heads to Bangkok where he teams up with Thai detective, Tony Vitayakui (Tony Jaa) to hunt down Viktor Dragovic (Ron Perlman) and destroy his human trafficking network. Nick had inadvertently killed Dragovic’s son in a sting operation on the New Jersey docks, and Dragovic responded by attempting to kill Nick and his family. Nick miraculously survived the brutal attack, but his wife and daughter were killed. With nothing but vengeance to live for, Nick and Tony traverse their way through the Bangkok underworld in search of the elusive Dragovic. Meanwhile, FBI Agent Eddie Reed (Michael Jai White) is sent in to bring Nick home. But as the crossfire ensues, Nick has to determine who his true allies are.
