This trilogy has so far passed me by, but the third part caught my attention. The biggest opening weekend in history, just under 400 million (Avengers: Endgame 358m) and it also stars Tony Jaa. The expectations were high and in the end I am a bit disappointed, but it is still an entertaining film. Chinese, Japanese, and Thai detectives are invited to investigate a murder, and it's quite fun. I enjoyed the investigation the most (similar in style to Sherlock Holmes, I like that!) and the action is great, although there is not much of it. It's really more of a lighthearted crime-comedy, but the grand fight at the airport and the smaller fight with Tony in the subway are solid. The first half is stronger and more enjoyable, in the second half the film slightly falls apart and the fact that I didn't get an action-packed finale disappoints even more. I don't regret watching it, though, I had fun. 6/10.
