Skin Trade
Director: Ekachai Uekrongtham
Actors: Dolph Lundgren, Tony Jaa, Ron Perlman
PlotNew Jersey detective Nick Cassidy heads up a sting operation to bring down Viktor Dragovic, a notorious human trafficker responsible for a lucrative trade in smuggling women. The operation goes awry when Dragovic's son is inadvertently killed in the process. Enraged by his son's death, Dragovic orchestrates a vicious reprisal, targeting Cassidy and his family. This personal attack pushes Cassidy beyond the boundaries of the law, compelling him to travel to Southeast Asia to seek justice.
In Bangkok, Cassidy teams up with a Thai detective, Tony Vitayakul, who has been working to prevent the flow of trafficked women from his country. Both men are driven by their pursuit of Dragovic, but their methods are different—Cassidy is fueled by revenge, while Vitayakul operates with a sense of duty and adherence to the law. As they navigate the perilous underbelly of the Bangkok criminal world, they uncover the complexities of the human trafficking network. They find themselves up against not only Dragovic's ruthless operation but also corrupt officials and the challenges of working within a system riddled with bribery and deceit.
