Review of Skin Trade

Skin Trade (2014)
10/10
Dolph tried
30 July 2018
It wasn't great, but I'll give it 10 stars anyway, because Dolph tried. An A for effort.

All these guys, Dolph + Tony Jaa + Ron Perlman + Michael Jai White, are talented action movie guys, but they've all been in way better action movies than this. Yes, they're getting old, but they can still do better.

The action scenes in this movie unfortunately just kinda fell short of being considered to be that great overall. There's a couple of pretty decent fights. One of the Tony vs Dolph fights was pretty good, in an abandoned factory. Tony vs Michael Jai White was probably the best scene - very impressive that a guy as big as White can move like that. But, as for the rest of the movie, the abundance of dull shootout scenes just weren't very interesting or shot in an engaging or dynamic way.

But in a weird way, it was amusing enough seeing Dolph try so hard to make this good that even though he mostly failed, I somehow still kinda enjoyed watching it.
