When it comes to some of my more beloved action movies, a lot of detractors will say of them "Oh but it has such a bad plot", I respectfully disagree. I would argue they have **simple** plots, but that doesn't inherently mean **bad**. _Triple Threat's_ plot however, is bad. But there's not a crap fight in it from start to finish, and it's one of the better movies that I have absolutely **zero** intention of ever revisiting that I've seen recently.
_Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._

Taking place in SE Asia, it really doesn't matter what the plot is as it's just one action sequence after another involving guns, martial arts, threatening and a lot of machismo. The fights had fairly good choreography and were fun to watch. As far as the gun fights... massive amounts of firepower does make things exciting but it didn't appear that anyone could hit the side of a barn with a machine gun if it kicked them in the butt. I didn't quite understand people's motivations in some places but all in all, fun, exciting, fighting, shoot 'em up popcorn movie. -- DrNostromo.com
