Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay
SanEat
A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin
The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Bas Rutten was a legend in international UFC and he makes his debut as a world-class action star in The Eliminator. The Dutch fighter is ruggedly handsome and built like the proverbial brick lavatory. Spending the whole movie in tight fitting under armor (when he's not shirtless) this film showcases both his ripped physique and awesome fighting skills.Re-working the "Most Dangerous Game" plot one more time, we find Varley (Rutten) a some-time cage fighter trying to pay off some gambling debts by winning a speedboat race run by the shady Dawson, played by Michael Rooker. When Varley wins the race - after causing another competitor's death in a fatal crash - Dawson realizes he's got just the rough and tumble guy he needs and drugs him. Varley and six other badasses wake up on Dawson's private jungle island where they will be hunted for sport by trained military personnel until only one remains. The game is watched by seven rich degenerates that have each sponsored one of the hunted and who stand to win $25 million if their man is left standing. Of course, the seven are encouraged to also kill on another to improve their own odds.From a fortified mansion on the island's highest point, the game is monitored, as each night teams of hunters are sent out to kill as many of the hunted as they can. One thing this flick has going for it is the quality of the fighters cast as the seven hunteds. Jamal Duff, a former N.Y. Giant football standout at 6'8, 305 lbs of black intimidation, plays Darius, a prisoner snatched from death row. Latino muscleman Marco Ruas, at 6'2, 240 lbs, isn't far behind, playing the Colombian killer Salvador. The only other "good guy" on the island is the cop Jesse, played by Paul Logan -- a familiar action star with the kind of good looks and sculpted body that landed him his own centerfold in Playgirl . The lovely Santha, played by Danielle Burgio, combines beauty with lethal fighting skills. Even the anonymous hunters in their skintight spandex uniforms are built young studs.With trained killers like these stalking the island, the death matches come fast and furious. Varley and Jesse team up to ice Salvador with the big Dutchman holding the powerful latino so Jesse can drive a homemade spear into his chest. When the beautiful Santha joins them, Jesse isn't so sure about her motives, but Varley is smitten with her sexy good looks. Later, when they all strip down to wash off in a stream, you can see she's also got an eye for Bas Rutten's chiseled physique. Alone, she begins to make love to him causing Varley to close his eyes in ecstasy. The next second Jesse appears to dispatch Santha with a chop to the neck. Varley is furious until he sees the knife that was in her hand. He thanks his buddy for saving his life and Jesse tells him to "stop thinking with the wrong head." Varley and Jesse continue to make their way to the mansion, slaying the hunters they encounter. Darius and Varley finally square off in an epic fight and it takes every ounce of Varley's strength to break the black muscleman's neck. When they reach the mansion, the two manage to take their revenge on Dawson and his henchman before fleeing the island in a stolen helicopter. All in all, this movie delivers on the action and definitely makes us want to see big Bas Rutten kicking ass in another one.

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.

this film fails in every way! a very thin and worn out plot/storyline, discarded guns thrown away and randomly appearing again, dead people moving around the set. And the CG is all bad, static fog, birds with cardboard wings, a wall that would make an Australian TV-show producer laugh his head off... when all this is said, i wish i could give the movie only half a star, but the fights, and the hysterical laugh-outs gives it just "the right stuff" for another half a star! All in all... this movie sucks... i know this is the lowest form of critique, but there isn't really much good to say about it!THX for viewing!

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
