SKIN TRADE (2014)

After New Jersey cop Nick Cassidy (Dolph Lundgren), with the help of the feds and the Bangkok police, captures Serbian gangster/human trafficker Viktor (Ron Perlman) - killing the man's youngest son in the process - Viktor makes bail, promptly disappears, and sends a pair of goons to kill Cassidy's wife and young daughter, sending the devoted cop over the edge to Asia in search of Viktor and revenge.  Soon after his arrival, however, Cassidy is framed for the murder of a Thai cop - the partner of Tony Vitayakul (Tony Jaa), who in turn now hunts Cassidy for that murder, even as both of them try to put a stop to Viktor and his operation.  An okay action film elevated hugely by the presence of Tony Jaa, who after twenty years in the business still commands 100% of your attention on-screen.  Much of the plot we've seen before, but the film does a good job of bringing awareness to the horrific crime of human trafficking, and the cast's commitment to their roles make for an especially tense final battle.
