Glad to see this getting some coverage.

Here's the BOM page in case anyone is interested, nothing on it yet but it'd be nice if they updated it with international gross, to see how it fares.

Another good review:

Skin Trade is a theatrical quality actioner, and it certainly deserves a wide cinema release more than some guff that has polluted multiplexes recently.

I tried tracking back through the pages, but is this getting a release in China?

I think it's planned in China but I haven't seen a release date yet.

Quite likely, it comes out in almost every Asian market, South Korea in May, Japan will probably a bit later...

The film was clearly made with care.

That extends beyond visuals to the story itself. Skin Trade does not just use the existence of sex slavery as some dark international plot device, as often happens (the Daredevil series offers just one recent example). It actually focuses on the problem and wants to raise awareness. This is an admirable trait for a B-action film, made more so by Lundgren’s behind the camera involvement with the film and sincerity overall.

Not all DTV-type action movies are good. Some are truly awful. Skin Trade is one of the good ones but not in an overly showy or obvious way. It’s just solid and fun from beginning to end.
