drpavlovic1411 At first, I was FURIOUS! An another movie about us, Serbian people, and we are nothing but the genocide monsters, the worst people in the world, without any feelings, evil to the core. The worst of the worst. I felt even worse when I read that Dolph Lundgren was the WRITER OF SCENARIO! WOW! Then I got the right perspective. Dolph Lundgren is an actor of the B production movies, which are so boring that you have problem not to fall asleep when you watch his movies. It is always the topic of revenge, or he is simply some Russian soldier, a beating people machine. He makes 20 movies a year, they have so low budget and so low quality. So, when he wanted to write a script, he wanted something new, not about Triads, Russians, mafia, marines,..., so he used... SERBS! We are the punching bag when you want to portrait somebody who is evil, but relatively new in the world of movies. Why not not include some evil Serbian general, who used to make genocides, to kill people for fun, to sell people like slaves,..., why not SPIT SERBIANS!? Really, why not? Travolta and Robert De Niro did that in "Killing seasons" (with a LOT inaccuracies about Serbian, even the name of the main character is not Serbian). Tom Cruise uses us in some of his endless "Mission impossible" sequel. If I remember well, Serbian killed his wife who is alive?!! Clooney and Kidman in "Peacemaker", some member of 3 nations in Bosnia (Muslims, Croatian and Serbs) had to bring the nuke to the UN in NY, to revenge for the foreign meddling in that war. Guess who did they choose to get the nuke to NY? A SERB!!!! Ding, ding, ding. You won the price! As far as I know, Muslims have the tradition to handle with bombs, it is not the Serbian tradition, but how not to blame Serbs? Then even Steven Seagal used Serbians in his endless serial of movies, they are super boring. The only movie which doesn't talk about Serbs as genocide lunatics is Dennis' Quaid "Saviour". The ONLY MOVIE. So, Dolph didn't do anything which is not seen. And he did it pretty accurately, if we talk about names, and he used one actor to talk (pretty clumsy, but better than anyone before) Serbian words. This movie is totally boring, as any of other Dolph's movies. Even the fighting scenes are in darkness, Tony Jaa was gambling with his great reputation he gained in his GREAT movies, by being included in this SOOOO AVERAGE movie, not worth to watch. A typical revenge movie, without any great action, there were some attempts to make this movie something better than his other ones, by Dolph, but he didn't succeed. A cheap and very superficial movie about the people trafficking, which tries to touch our emotions. No. It didn't worked.

Paul Magne Haakonsen Right, well a movie such as "Skin Trade" did seem like it could have great potential. After all, I mean, there are some pretty big names on the cast list, which includes Tony Jaa, Michael Jai White, Dolph Lundgren, Ron Perlman and Peter Weller.The concept of the storyline was good, although the movie itself was rather predictable and generic.Naturally there was lots of good action and fighting sequences. These sequences were nicely choreographed and executed on the screen, and that really added to the enjoyment of the movie."Skin Trade" had a good cast, as I mentioned earlier. Though I feel that Michael Jay White, Peter Weller and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa weren't given enough screen time or prominent enough roles to really utilize their abilities and talents.All in all, "Skin Trade" turned out to be a mediocre action movie because of the storyline, and while the action was bountiful and nicely executed, then it could only do so little to salvage the storyline. "Skin Trade" is good enough entertainment for a single viewing if you enjoy action movies that do not challenge your intellectual side.

joshivinay The concept of the movie is good whatever happens to girls who are forced in human trafficking is Horrible and Inhumane for sure... Being said that the movie couldn't have gone any more horribly wrong. From direction to screen play got lots of holes and don't get me started on the acting. Even a 5 year old acting in a school play could've acted way better than (Dolph and Tony) the Lead actors and the accent of the foreign Asian characters is "super Racist " Nobody Talks like that. Some Running scene in which Dolph has to run to chase you could see he is so old that he couldn't even run Some people wrote " Excellent Action Movie" those guys don't know what a "Good Action" movie is. Only good thing is the villain and the hot female lead(with terrible accent) P.S. Pass this Movie. Watch something else

KineticSeoul So I think most of the gripe with audiences for this movie is how the movie deals with human traficking. While also blending in martial arts and fighting into the equation. C'mon now, there has been plenty of other films that deals with this type of material but goes in a very pretentious and superficial direction as well. Where the human trafficking elements is just there for shock value more than awareness of the situation. Sure the story has some plot holes and a lot of character decisions, especially when it comes to the action sequences doesn't make much sense. Actually doesn't make much sense at all during certain points. However, this isn't a awful movie and for practically a straight to DVD movie it's actually quite watchable. The plot is pretty much a cliché action cop movie. Where one guy who is framed or pushed to the limits is on the run and a hardboiled cop is trying to track him down. The main reason I wanted to check this movie out is because it has Tony Jaa, Michael Jai White in a action movie. Sure, the characters really aren't fleshed out or developed enough for the audiences to really care. Plus the acting is really bad. But you get what you practically except. Such as the face off between Tony Jaa and Dolph Lundgren and Michael Jai White. The production value is also solid enough for a B movie.6.5/10
