Eliminators

This is a basic action flick but it could and should have been so much better than it is although it would never be great.

Lots of poor and corny dialogue and poor decisions by the good guys. You know the sort of thing - not killing the baddie when you can and letting his escape. Yawn. Also the thing about the goody being shot but then doing martial arts, etc. as if nothing had happened. Thought this had gone out at least two decades ago. Yawn (again). Lots of drawn-out sequences. And plot holes and logic, particularly at the beginning and the end. Oh dear...

And what the title has to do with the story is anyone's guess. Although the producers probably thought it was better than ' A bit of editing could have improved it, but switch off any kind of logical thinking and, if you've nothing better to watch (and preferably if it's on TV), and you like Scott Adkins and his fighty arts, waste an hour and a half on it if you must.

I don't get the low ratings, this movie was pretty good. It has nothing we haven't seen already in various action movies but It has a decent story, good pace and the action scenes are nice. I'm glad that the main character - the always great Scott Adkins - wasn't kicking around in order to save the world but he was just after his daughter. Loved the little twist with the old gangster. Good movie, I really enjoyed it.

... this one took me back to the days of action flicks with Van Damme, Norris & Seagal back in the 80's & 90's , and i really enjoyed it. No mucking around straight into the story and great action scenes, great little action flick!!!

Adkins would have been great late 80 early 90 when all the martial arts B movie where poring out like crazy after the success of bloodsport, and Jean Claude Van damme and Nico where a slim Steven Siegal showed us some new fighting moves.

But lets face it this poor scenario has been played to death by Billy Blanks, Gary Daniels, Don Wilson, and so on back in the days, this is 2017 and i guess that people have seen enough of the tournament fighting crap, or the bad martial arts plot.

Its really sad because Adkins as replace all those awful bad actors in is b movie direct to video, except for small parts in big feature film where he has so much makeup you don't recognize him he will never leave the direct to video movie land.

Poor Scott is 25y to late.

Apparently defending one's self and family from three armed intruders breaking into one's home attempting to kill you and and your family in the UK is not the same as in the USA.
