The Eliminators (2016). Watched this on Hulu this evening. The movie stars Scott Adkins and Stu Bennett. The former you should be familiar with. The latter is known for the "I Am Venegeance" movies and a bunch of WWE shows.
The movie kind of gets to the action fairly quickly. Not to spill too much of the movie but Adkins's character gets into some early trouble. He protects his home and kills three violent intruders with their own gun. The British police arrest him albeit he's handcuffed to a hospital bed in the hospital as he sustained some injuries in the tussle. (Remind me to never move to the UK and protect my house during a robbery/break-in)
This tussle sets off a chain of events that had nothing to do with the original altercation.
Just like all the other action-adventure genre movies, the shooting accuracy of everyone in the movie is super atrocious. I mean do they really think people who are watching are THAT dumb? Probably more of the fact that people are not as judgmental as I am.
Also, the fighting is like "How many work boot heels can someone take to the face/head before they are hurt or stay down?" Oh and also, apparently metal baseball bats are easily blockable by human forearms.
FINAL VERDICT: Despite all the faults I begrudgingly overlooked, this movie isn't too bad. It's kind of the same old same old but if you have Hulu, you already pay for it so it's worth a watch.
