If there's a universal truth to agree upon in our divisive age, it's that child traffickers are scum of the earth and thus well-positioned to serve as fodder in modern action cinema.
When mute tradesman Wang Wei's daughter, Rainy, is taken from him in broad daylight by members of just such an organization, he goes on a tear through Bangkok's criminal underworld to rescue her.
Brutalizing any man foolish enough to get in his way with precision martial artistry (and his trusty claw hammer) in the process.
