Music Composed by JACOB GROTH
MovieScore Media hereby presents the music of Jacob Groth, the Danish composer who wrote the music to the original Stieg LarssonMillennium trilogy (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, etc). Directed by Ekachai Uekrongtham, SKIN TRADE stars Dolph Lundgren, Tony Jaa and Ron Perlman in an action thriller about human trafficking. The film tells the story of Nick (Lundgren) whose previous investigation on the Russian mob left his family dead. Set on a vendetta, he travels to Bangkok and teams up with a Thai detective (Jaa) to bring down the human trafficking mafia in their Southeast Asian center.
Based on a screenplay originally written by Lundgren himself, Skin Trade spans a haunting and exotic action thriller score by Danish composer Jacob Groth. As the composer puts it “The music is dedicated to the fight against human-trafficking. It’s not only an action-score, but also a score with real themes written for the characters, both the good, the bad and the ugly!” Groth’s score is performed by The Danish Filmharmonics, featuring some of the best musicians of the Nordic countries.
