Tony Jaa & Iko Uwais Fight In First Trailer For 'Triple Threat'

At one point, “Triple Threat” — which brings together the fighting talents of Tony Jaa (“Ong-Bak,” “The Protector“) and Iko Uwais (“The Raid“) into one film — was promisingly going to be directed by “John Wick” co-helmer Chad Stahelski. Sadly, that didn’t happen, and instead, some guy named Jesse V. Johnson, who is mostly known for lots of low rent action flicks, took over. Hopefully, he just got out of the way and let his cast do what they do best.

Co-starring Scott Adkins and Michael Jai White, themselves no strangers to kicking butt, the story pretty much gives an excuse for everyone involved to flex their muscles and show off their skills. Here’s the official synopsis:

A hit contract is taken out on a billionaires daughter intent on bringing down a major crime syndicate. A down and out team of mercenaries must take on a group of professional assassins and stop them before they kill their target.

“Triple Threat” will be released by Well Go USA Entertainment.
