For me, a rising star in the Action movie world that deserves to get a big budget break. Except, R rated action movies don't get made by Big Studio's no more. Or rarely.
My friend Mike kept going on about Adkins some time ago. The name meant nothing to me. Then I saw a clip for the movie Ninja. It looked good if not a little low budget. I liked the movie when I first saw it but found Adkins to be a bit bland.
I watched The Tournament with Robert Carlylse and Mike said that Adkins was in it. Where? I asked. It was only when I saw it for a second time I realised that he played the Russian assassin that favoured grenades and tried to kill Kelly Hu in a church. I was quite shocked that I hadn't recognised him.
Then, I finally got around to watching Undisputed II. Then the penny dropped as to why Mike got so into Adkins' movies. This bloke can actually act and kick major ass in a movie.
I've since seen Undisputed III which was also very good and The Shepherd: Border Patrol which was not so good. You know, the one where JCVD is sleepwalking through the movie?
Anybody else got an interest in Scott Adkins?
