Best movie ever!

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

yeah!!! I hardly ever get to say those two words with an exclamation mark let alone three, but Skin Traffik is worthy of my enthusiastic vulgarity. Though the premise is simple (Gary Daniels vs. an entire army of scum bags), the essence of action movie Kung Fu heaven is brilliantly maintained. The first scene-setting quarter takes its sweet time preparing you for the bodacious mayhem that occurs in the rest of the film, this film must contain the most frequency of action scenes as there's one every ten minutes or less! It's the most I've ever witnessed in an independent film. Yet, somehow, it never outstays its welcome. Skin Traffik delivered on my every expectation. For ignorant optimists such as myself, that's a cinematic rarity.

The action is great, and the film has a solid cast as well. Skin Traffik is actually way better than I thought it would be. The story, which revolves around human trafficking, is a very important subject and it's great that Director Ara Paiaya has brought it to light in his own unique style. The main reason Skin Traffik excels is because of the Direction, Action Direction and Cast. The villain side of things is really awesome! Overall, it has the guts to be a big budget martial arts action flick with a star studded cast that confronts a very serious topic. This film is perfect for fun with the guys on a Friday pizza night.

Action movies like this will always have their, mostly male and indiscriminate audience satisfied with endless shoot-outs, explosions, beat-downs and big guns and knives. Exactly what I expect from a good action movie. Huge Star Cast, Guns, Car Chases, Violence, Gore, Cheesy Dialogue and a standard action movie storyline. Obviously anyone not happy with all of the above were expecting something more substantial but I couldn't have asked for anything more. Ara Paiaya creates an entertaining movie with wonderful use of the whole cast. The way each big name actor was used in the film was the best anyone could of done. Classic! Every time there was a fight scene with action hero Gary Daniels, I was overwhelmed by the incredible action and variety of kills on the screen. Bottom line, don't listen to the troll reviews. Watch this movie!

Skin Traffik excels, unapologetically, at what it seeks to be: a fun, violent action romp, built upon a amazing cast and plenty of action where Bradley (Gary Daniels) kills mobsters, assassins and all the middlemen in between. As for the actual narrative: it's blessedly simplistic and unsophisticated, with no illusions of grandeur: Bradley's hit goes sideways with Vogal (Mickey Rourke) and his old employer (Eric Roberts) wants him dead. He drops out the game and is hiding out in London where he comes across a hooker (Dominique Swain) who needs help. He makes a promise to help her find her little sister and from that point everyone who gets in Bradley's (Gary Daniels) way as he makes his journey of vengeance ends up in a body bag. Simple. The invincible tough-guy archetype and action mixed with the amazing cast of EVERYONE!!!!! which include MICKEY ROURKE, ERIC ROBERTS, DARYL HANNAH, MICHAEL MADSEN, JEFF FAHEY, DOMINIQUE SWAIN, ALAN FORD ! This is an independent film written, produced, directed, filmed, edited, action, fight choreography and co-starring all by one man ARA PAIAYA. The action and cast are the most enjoyable aspects of the film. Paiaya creates both the visual and physical dimensions of the film it's no surprise that the director is able to put together some of the slickest action sequences seen in an independent film with such a high profile cast being a martial arts expert according to IMDb Trivia and looks to have starred in a bunch of low budget DTV chop socky flicks. Certainly a step up from the usual Hollywood shaky cam action fare. The action is very well executed, slick and polished in design. When the violence and action isn't taking place, some good production and set design plus some nice cinematography help keep the eye reasonably satisfied whenever things slow down. It's action, it's British and it has an all star cast not the greatest story in the world but it's a little action gem.
