Review: ELIMINATORS (2016) Kicks Ass With Directorial Forte

In the years since I’ve had my eye on action star Scott Adkins, he’s almost never disappointed me as a fan or a critic. That wasn’t until Isaac Florentine’s The Shepherd in 2008, and with an unceremonious fight finale that paled in comparison to the riproaring sequences of his previous work, including Special Forces in 2003. Fast forward to 2016 and to say the least, I’ve become a little more objective in my fandom for the sake of critiquing movies on a larger scale than merely weighing in on how awesome fight scenes are. Gladly, using this perspective met well for me having seen director James Nunn’s 2014 action drama, Green Street 3: Underground, by far one of the few best films I had seen starring Adkins, while a slightly more modest appeal now follows in their latest pairing in part from WWE Films, Eliminators. The story sets up immediately […]

Director James Nunn’s MMA fight drama, Green Street Hooligans: Underground, was my first foray into his work, and gladly it was a delightful debut at that. With that in mind, Nunn is back at it once again with martial arts star Scott Adkins for the new international action thriller, Eliminators, following the announcement back in April from WWE Studios and Tea Shop & Film Company, and short bursts of pics flowing through social media in the last few months with wrestler-turned-actor Wade Barrett also starring. Further casting info will go viral in due time but the best of all is to see fight choreographer and action actor Tim Man involved as well – icing on the cake after wrapping Undisputed IV with helmer Isaac Florentine over the summer, thus promising a good year in 2016 with quite a few Adkins-starrers slated for release. For now though, we can take note […]

With Close Range wrapped, Jarhead: The Siege already underway and Undisputed 4 to begin this June, it’s a great time to stay excited for the Brit screenfighter whose career is a list of popular action hits that have played a huge role in maintaining the martial arts fanbase. For this, we turn to an exclusive report from Variety that states Adkins‘s forthcoming role in the new film, Eliminators, which begins filming in London possibly this May, reuniting Adkins with filmmaker James Nunn following their work on the 2013 pound-for-pound revenge fight thriller, Green Street 3.
