Triple Threat

[Drunk Monk]

This was way overhyped. Jaa. Uwais. Chen. Adkins. Yanin. Jai White. Bisping. Some big names in fight choreo.  But in the end, it's a typical fight flick with a weak storyline and poorly developed characters like a throwback to a Golan Globus flick in the 80s.  Tony and Iko are interesting.  Tiger isn't up to par.  Adkins is funny as the leader of the evil gwailo (followed by the two Michaels). Jeeja has one good scene but it's too short. The fights are good but too far in between. It's the fights between the leads tho - the fights against the henchmen are very unimpressive. Lots of full auto gun play but not very well choreographed, just shooting and splattering.  My guess is that between the Mandarin, Thai, English & Indonesian, no one could really understand each other.  Kind of a fail.  Kind of a fast-forward-to-the-fight-scenes flick.  Not particularly DOOM worthy.

Strangely, I thought cf reviewed this here already. I knew he saw it but I don't know how I knew. cf - did you review it here and then delete that review?  DOOM is my notes so when you mess with them, it's like lobotomizing my memory.
