Eliminador

A movie that takes its time getting started and never really gets anywhere due to the most inept villains in a film that is not a comedy. Seriously, when they are not throwing each other off a balcony, they are shooting each other, getting fish and letting the hero have another chance at them when they had the hero in a position to take out. The two heroes did not have to be good in this one, just slightly less incompetent than the villains!

The story starts out with a dude shaving and breaking up a robbery before meeting his old friend played by David Carradine. They go to this demonstration by a rich guy of a new weapon which promptly gets destroyed as the guy says he is out of the weapons business. Well, soon, an FBI agent and dude with bad temper and great hair move in to kidnap this inventor and his daughter, but they manage to mess up a lot so Carradine and his buddy Slade can literally take their time and enjoy the sights, steal a car even for no reason before stopping the doomed kidnapping mission.

About the only real star here is Carradine, though the character Slade was in a lot of B movies himself. They are okay, and the bad guy with the nice hair was alright as the short tempered main bad guy. The movie just takes too long to get going and like I said, you never get a sense that Slade and Carradine are going to lose as the villains stumble and bumble and shoot each other...

So, it had its moments, certainly was a fun watch, but not a good one. Carradine was in some good films during his time, but he was also in a lot of bad films! Granted, most of the bad ones are still entertaining in their own way. Make the villains more competent and add some better action and this one could have been good because Hans Gruber this villains are not!
