Director : Ekachai Uekrongtham
Running Time : 97 mins
Following the murder of his wife and the kidnapping of his daughter, New York detective Nick Cassidy (Lundgren) heads to South East Asia to track down the gang responsible for the atrocities and to bring an end to their network of human trafficking.
This is such a cheesy movie, filled with all the clichés that action movies of the 80s and 90s made so popular. Imagine if Taken had been made with Steven Segal and you’ve pretty much got his movie sussed. The soundtrack sounds like it came from a poor man’s version of The Terminator, the main heroes meet in a comic book style misunderstanding fight scene that goes on for far too long, and the nudity, though necessary for a movie with a plot revolving around the sex trade, feels tacked on for nudities sake, especially when the majority of these poor young girls who have been kidnapped from their homes and sold into slavery have very obvious breast implants. One for the hardcore action movie fan who doesn’t mind trading in good plots for over the top action.
