About

You’ll likely enjoy Skin Trade if you want revenge-fueled, international action with plenty of fighting and a slim but fast-moving storyline; Not for you if you prefer more thoughtful plotting or cleaner tone, like in Wrong Turn at Tahoe or Already Dead.

Pros: strong action scenes; revenge-driven momentum; cast brings energy | Cons: plot feels generic; some dull stretches; ending not satisfying
