Such a frustrating disappointment

It's funny watching the elements come together in this complicated scam. On one hand, the set-up isn't quite as complex as it seems, but there's an easy sense of fun in every exchange.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

The first must-see film of the year.

It's funny, as a martial arts film enthusiast I was most excited about one of the lesser known names in this film, Gary Daniels. He has the ability to perform superbly in fight sequences whilst carrying the presence and acting ability to pull off the lead. But surprisingly there's some really popular Hollywood names starring alongside him too.You've got Mickey Rourke at the very beginning of the film playing a powerful crime boss, with other stars like Daryl Hannah and Michael Madsen popping up throughout the film in supporting roles.Our main villain though is played by Eric Roberts who does a pretty good job at playing an intelligent bad guy with a fitting charisma to sell the character. Having these strong names around Gary Daniels' lead made for a smooth overall performance by the entire cast.One thing I appreciated too was seeing director and writer Ara Paiaya showing up for a fight sequence toward the end of the film showing off his impressive abilities also, as they guy has some very acrobatic and impressive martial arts to showcase.

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.

Not many people will agree with me but SKIN TRAFFIK (a.k.a A Hit-man IN London) is from one perspective a film with a lot of heart. Given that Ara Paiaya is not only the producer and director but also the editor, Cinematographer and Fight Choreographer. Also what it sets out to be is a film that delivers action at a break neck pace and it delivers in spades.The cast consist a bunch of familiar faces. Such as leading man Gary Daniels who despite being fifty isn't showing signs of slowing down. as well as Mickey Rourke, Michael Madsen, Daryl Hannah, Eric Roberts, Alan Ford, Dominique Swain and Jeff Fahey. All of which giving fine performances and adding their own special flavor.In terms of plot progression the film picks up quickly and maintains its quick pace throughout. The action comes in large doses and remains thoroughly entertaining. The story line isn't the greatest but with this type of film that's pretty much a genre trademark.

Enjoyable film bit of a Taken Reboot but with a much cooler cast and better hand to hand combat. I would recommend this to anyone who likes action and seeing lots of stars in one movie for example like in The Expendable films. Gary Daniels is at the peak of his powers as a killing machine in this British action film. Paiaya delivers a film which plays like one prolonged, glorified action sequence, in which dialogue and characterisation are strictly secondary. Bradley (Gary Daniels) leaves corpse after corpse in his wake, the storytelling becomes more and more preposterous – it's saving grace is the sheer operatic excess of the bloodletting. Certainly a timeless DTV action classic and even more so when you think of all the star power involved.
