Eliminators

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.

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.

"Eliminators" felt like a mix of UNIVERSAL SOLDIER, THE TERMINATOR & BOURNE LEGACY but set in England & it's pretty good, yeah it's a typical cheap DTV Action Film with the king of Low-budget Action Adkins but it's exactly what i thought it would be by the cover art. Adkins rises the typical Action stuff way above average because he's such a talented fighter & good actor so his just being in this makes it worth watching!!! Adkins is the lead here as an American living in London with his little girl & of coming has a hidden past that comes to the surface when he's exposed all over the News when he kills 3 hoodlums who brake into his house & that unleashes all sorts of threat & one is a big scary Assassin played by Bennett & he makes a really good villain & great counterpart to Adkins to fight with & do lots of Cool stylish Action & their fights scenes are really good. This has the typical race against time to locate his daughter before the bad guys get to her & that means lots of chasing & shooting through a very slick looking London city & it's pretty much non-stop Action & again although it's a DTV flick & nothing new at all it's still a fun watch & Adkins is always good. I still think Adkins is ridiculously underrated & should have taken over Hollywood by now like Statham did!!!! A slick looking 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.

At first I did not expect much from Eliminators. But As a fan of Scott Adkins brand of action, I'd say it ranks as one of his better films. This isn't the thinking man's type but more of a simple, straight forward, one man army 80/90s action movie . For that much it is entertaining and somewhat of a hidden gem. Adkins proves he is a solid yet underrated action star by providing some kick ass and innovative fights with some cool locations for it to take place in. Unlike most bland, low budget action films shot in eastern Europe this was actually shot in London which added to the movie. Sure, acting may not be a strength of the movie and the story may not be the most original but it is leaps and bounds better than other low budget DTV films like the crap washed up action stars like Seagal churn out every few months . Overall, Eliminators is a fairly decent entry into the sub-genre of the direct to DVD/VOD action movies. Adkins brings the goods and racks up a healthy body count and one of the better movies made by WWE studios.

7/10.
