In the bonus track of the DVD for "Eliminators," the focus is on the fight choreography for the film. That segment says it all for the cinematic values invested in the film.
The basic plot is a protracted race against time for the character named Thomas, an American agent whose cover has been blown in England. The main strand of the film is Thomas' desperate attempt to reunite with his daughter before she is harmed, or (much worse) kidnapped by her grandfather. This ludicrous narrative is never believable, and neither are the characters.
The film starts with an enormous plot hole when Thomas is arrested and locked to a hospital bed after he was the victim of a random act of violence in his own home. The arrest made no sense because Thomas was only protecting himself and his daughter against armed intruders.
Another shortcoming of the film was to leave undeveloped the past of Thomas in which his wife died during one of his undercover operations. The circumstances of her death were never made clear, and this pattern of providing insufficient exposition continued throughout the film.
The characters were all nondescript. While Thomas was a likable protagonist, it was difficult to truly care about his situation because his and the other characters were were presented as melodramatic stereotypes.
And the principal focus was always on the wrestling and fight choreography.
