Triple Threat

Maybe I was expecting too much from this one? Maybe I wanted more kicks and less guns? How come I feel like they wasted so much potential? Why try to have a double crossing story? Why not simply team A wants to get something from Team B. DONE. Not a guy in the middle trying to play both sides for his goal. And I wanted less talking and more fighting! I do believe my high expectations were realistic seeing that Scott Adkins, Tony Jaa, Michael Jai White and Iko Uwais are all featuring in this one. And I like all of them! So yeah, deep down in my heart I know I can expect a lot of entertainment! Because that is the only thing I look for in films starring these men. Entertainment in form of great fights and action. No complicated amazing story-lines, no epic character development, no really emotional moments. Just some fancy hard hitting kicks and elbows. So yeah, when it comes down to that, I was utterly disappointed in Jesse V. Johnson's Triple Threat.

Jaa, Uwais, and Chen are all talented fighters and reasonable actors too. A shame then that they had to be lumbered with a wooden script and, in Adkins and White, equally wooden actors too.
