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.

"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

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.

This is a fast paced action thriller with an anticipated twist, that is fairly well acted by Adkins, James Cosmo (of Braveheart fame) and WWE's Wade Barret.

Like stylish action thrillers since Bourne, it sees the protagonist as a fallen American hero in London. In Keeping with the zeitgeist, our hero and villain are tech savy and expertly trained in hand to hand combat. There is of course homage to the genre in the form of high speed antics in a classic German 'whip' (in this case a beautiful example of a 1984 BMW 635 csi). Night action around famed London landmarks adds to the element.

There is some empathy inducing, partial blurring of the good/bad divide through the character of the grandfather, but not the sort of moral dilemma that will hold attention after the credits role.

Certainly watchable, if more so for the visuals than the dialogue, and fairly engaging. The action choreography was quite decent and, as someone who has been on that side of production, lending a sense of 'believable' to the fight sequences.

Better than a Sunday afternoon 'fighty film'.

If you like action-packed fast-paced films starring Scott Adkins and Stu Bennett, then this film is for you. Eliminators (2016) is a generic action flick with an OK plot.

Former US federal agent Thomas and professional hitman Bishop are your main macho-man. They sweat testhosterone and are black belts on every other martial arts.

Recommendable for action lovers. You can watch it without much thought to details as this film is as mind-numbing as it can get.
