Triple Threat

If I downloaded a movie from the Bahamas, does this make me a Pirate of the Caribbean? Because this pirate's film didn't have sub-titles for the non-English parts... aaaaaarrrrg!

I spent most of the film's running time hoping that these famous martial art pros get to work together again in a film worthy of their talents, instead of this ridiculous script that had more plot issues and was more predictable than a soft porn film. A 5th grader could've written a better story that made actual sense.

The fight choreography was excellent, especially towards the end, but also limited with the screenplay that needed work from its muddled narrative about criss-crossing allegiances, noble billionaires, shadowy criminal enterprises, and one guy out for vengeance that had dozens of opportunities from the get-go, but instead risked and/or allowed civilians to die before the obvious end result.

Don't see it for the plot, see it for the fight scenes... these guys all deserve a better story. It's a very generous 6/10 from me - solely for the all star cast and their multiple martial-arts discipline fight scenes.

With a cast like this, I was expecting The Raid, Ong Bak, Boyka or The Night Comes for Us quality.

My advice is don't build your hopes up.

I can look past awful dialogue and ridiculous situations if the action is good but theres nowhere near enough to keep you distracted from what is, a bad movie.

If you're expecting an Oscar worthy movie,then you're in the wrong place. This movie include many great action star like Iko Uwais,Tiger Chen, Tony Jaa, Scott Adkins,and Michael Jai White which I think will be the main reason to watch this movie.

Plot writing for this movie might be a little bit weak for most of the part but you can't help yourself to enjoy the movie. The acting was good especially for Iko Uwais and Scott Adkins. The others is kinda... how I can say it? Cringe.

The action sequence was great and engaging. I mean if you're a fan of their movie, you'll definitely enjoy this movie action sequence.

Overall, it's a pretty enjoyable action for a VOD movie.

Like the title says, the director has too much martial arts star power and too little to do with all of it. First and foremost tiger chen , has a very generic fight style and it brought down the scenes he was in. Iko continually gets beat down but thanks to overused cliches the bad guys talk too much and he gets in his hits. Tony jaa even feela slightly wasted compared to the protector. The final fight feels meh, without spoiling too much, that fight should have went a little different, but the director played it like an old action movie with no twist or anything that suprised us. Summed up, considering the star power in the movie, it should have been better done. I'm a huge fan of most of the cast and this movie failed to showcase their skills or fighting styles. Watch once and done.

Triple Threat features some of the greatest martial arts actors of the past and present decade like Tony Jaa, Scott Adkins, Iko Uwais, and Michael Jai White. All of them showcasing their trademark martial arts skills on the big screen.

Unfortunately, this movie doesn't live up to it's ensemble hype. There was a lack of character development, the plot was paper-thin and inconsequential, and the chemistry of the three main leads was tenuous, although that's probably due to the language barrier and cultural differences between them. Tony Jaa, Tiger Hu Chen, and Iko Uwais are at their best when they're doing films for their respective national markets.
