Episode 235: Hasta La Vista Whiskey - Triple Threat (2019)

It's easy to forget sometimes that not all action movies are made for the good old US of A.  This week's cinematic masterpiece was clearly targeting toward eastern and southeastern Asian market.  We've got Tony Jaa (Ong Bak: The Thai Warrior, Fast and Furious 7), Iko Uwais (The Raid and The Raid: Redemption), Tiger Hu Chen (Matrix Reloaded, Matrix Revolutions, John Wick 3, Scott Adkins (Expendables 2, Doctor Strange), and Michael Jai White (Black Dynamite, Spawn, The Dark Knight) all kicking ass in a symphony of fights and gun play.  Made on a fairly modest budget, we see mostly practical effects that look great, especially the robust amount of squibs.  The martial arts are a steady escalation of awesomeness.  The plot is...there.  Lots to like in this one, rent or buy this on Amazon.  You shan't regret it.
