O Eliminador

I can't say is the worst movie I've ever seen, is the second one in the series. Maybe Bas Ruten is a good fighter and maybe someday he will become an actor, who knows? But why I am talking about Bas Ruten? First of all I must talk about director, writing, plot or is better to never talk about these stuff, because are inexistent. I've seen many movies in my life and in the last years 90% of all American movies are just garbage. Is not a surprise if you discover that a movie so called great is so great just because it was seen by a stupid people. Hey, you won't wake never? The advertise and mass media, just had you all? You have no brain still? How could you make all the movie the same f.....g way? They are fighting so many times without a single scratch, they are leaving the guns beside, they always find a way to reach the bad guys, you still believe in fairy tooth? Or red hoodwinked? Even Van Damme is better than this one. Maybe you should start to see movies from Europe and to not believe everything is told to you by your beloved compatriots, the Americans. A movie like this is enough to f.ck all the week-end and the next month too. Is a perfect punish for your enemy.

All I can say about this movie is: "GIVE ME SOME MORE!!! I WANT SOME MORE!!!" This movie is the perfect, and I mean PERFECT, blend of Mixed Martial Arts, Bas Rutten (Dakota Varley), Marco Ruas (Salvador), marbles, Voltaire (played by Tony Boldi), android prisoners, and jungles. The thought of using the jungle as a battleground was very inspirational, so all I can say is that this movie gave me "jungle fever". I strongly think that this is Bas Rutten's true calling. He really made me believe that he was stuck on an island and fighting for survival. Some fight for freedom. What does he fight for? He made it quite clear in the movie that he fights for survival. While watching this movie, I really believed that he wanted some more. But Bas Rutten was not the only reason that this movie was as great as it was. Paul Logan (Jesse) is a very wonderful actor whose credentials speak for themselves. Check out his IMDb profile for the various cinematic tour de forces that he has been in. Another reason that this movie, or rather, this work of art, was as great as it was was the wonderful performance by Michael Rooker (Miles Dawson). His spectacular, wonderful, scrumtrilescent speech about marbles made me realize that he is a true villain. All in all, I believe that this movie is the cinematic pinnacle from which all movies hereafter should strive for. Thank you Bas. Thank you Paul. Thank you Michael. Thank you Marco. Thank you android prisoner. Thank you for everything.

I would gladly have awarded this production zero stars and have already wasted too many words on it

As other users have pointed out, the basic idea behind "The Eliminator" is not a new one - it's the old "Most Dangerous Game" formula. Despite the familiar plot, it still could have been enjoyable in a trashy yet satisfying B movie manner. However, this particular telling is one of the worst I have seen in quite some time. It quickly becomes clear that the production didn't have a lot of money to spend on production values (probably hiring actor Michael Rooker blew a lot of the limited budget.) The movie is terribly shot, from the washed out cinematography to the often incompetent lighting. The movie is also terribly directed; there are a number of continuity errors, confusing moments, and the action scenes (the meat of the movie) come across more often than not as lame and unexciting. And there is a constant feeling of the entire enterprise being done as cheaply and quickly as possible.

Is there any merit to be found in the movie? Well, there is Bas Rutten as the chief protagonist. Don't get me wrong, he's a pretty poor actor, but he does have some charm and charisma that gets you to see he could do okay in a more professionally made movie. Anything else? Well, you can play a drinking game with your buddies. Take a drink every time the action cuts to footage of the sun, clouds, or stars moving quickly across the sky. You'll be seriously blotto by the end of the movie! But if you want to see a GOOD telling of this old formula, seek out the B movies "Surviving The Game" and "Raw Courage" instead

The storyline involves 7 strangers of differing backgrounds being transfered (unwillingly) to an island by an equal number of rich people which bet 25 million $ on their contestant. The island is the gameground on which guards are sent in groups to eliminate the contestants. The last survivor is the victor the "deathmatch".

I found quite a few similarities to Battle Royale. Of course don't imagine this movie to be nearly as entertaining as Battle royale. This was a clearly low budget effort, the cinematography was below average, the fighting scenes were bad and even the acting was horrible.

I don't recommend this movie. 4/10
