STRIKING RESCUE Review: Tony Jaa Brings The Pain In Cheng Siyu’s Serviceable Revenge Thriller
Striking Rescue opens in select theaters on December 6 from Well Go USA Entertainment. Thai action star Tony Jaa continues to grow his cinematic workspace. Reasonably, this sort of feat might have seemed far from reachable in the earlier years of Jaa’s progression as a stuntman and a burgeoning film actor, at least until the breakout success of 2003’s Ong Bak with Jaa lending his success to trademark bone-crushing Muay Thai fight action, and stunt feats the likes of which have all but grabbed firmly the attention of action fans eyeing the same high caliber showmanship seen in Jackie Chan films.

Tony Jaa Revenge Thriller STRIKING RESCUE Gets An Official U.S. Trailer
After his wife and daughter are killed by assassins affiliated with a brutal organized crime syndicate, a Muay Thai fighter (Tony Jaa) goes on a furious rampage through the city on his quest to hunt down the killers—and make them pay. Invariably this is the stage now set for Striking Rescue, the newest from featured actor Tony Jaa whose action star acclaim gets another stake in the mainland following recent spells with titles like Detective Chinatown 3 and Kill Zone 2. The film also rejoins Jaa with the Planos-based Well Go USA in Texas who also released Kill Zone 2, as well as other Jaa-starrers S.P.L.: Paradox, and Jesse V. Johnson’s Triple Threat. Striking Rescue also stars Hong Junjia, Shi Yanneng, Philip Keung, and Chen Duoyi. Catch the official trailer below ahead of the film’s December 6 release!

STRIKING RESCUE Youku Promo Signals The Retrun Tony Jaa This Month!
Tony Jaa is taking China’s Youku streaming app to task with the November 8 release of Striking Rescue. Desperado helmer Cheng Siyi directs the international action star for the story of a harrowing descent into the criminal for a Muay Thai master out for vengeance after witnessing the brutal murders of his wife and daughter. The film also stars Shi Yanneng, Hong Junjia, Phillip Keung, and Chen Duoyi. I reckon it’ll be about a year before this finds some space in the U.S. – namely Well Go USA’s Hi-YAH! streamer where Asian action titles like these are well suited for presentation.
