Synopsis
Set in Glasgow, Scotland, THE PURIFIERS is an attempt to ape Hong Kong martial arts movies from a British perspective. Director Richard Jobson (who enters the movie industry after an unusual career arc saw him spending time in punk band The Skids before becoming a television presenter) trains his cameras on a bunch of outsiders known as The Purifiers. Together, the team of three men and three women form an uncanny alliance as they battle it out against rival gangs in a BLADE RUNNER-esque future Britain. Reminiscent of Walter Hill's seminal '70s gangland tale THE WARRIORS, Jobson's film draws some notable performances from his gang of young actors, with Dominic Monaghan (LORD OF THE RINGS) among them.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of Time, 4 Jan 2009
By E. Jones (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Terrible! The plot was thin and silly - rule by martial arts? The characters were lacking in charisma so that I did not care who won - in fact I was rooting for the "baddies"!

There was a sad attempt to make it look "arty" with weird camera angles and split screens, but this was just annoying. The "martial arts" were mostly slowed down or shot from odd pov's, almost certainly because the actors were no experts, which is understandable but wasn't very realistic.

Dominic Monaghan, who was probably the biggest name in the film, was a craven turncoat and a dreadful waste of talent. He spent most of his time fighting girls and losing or just betraying people for no well-established reasons!

Save your money!

3.0 out of 5 stars Great for a B class movie, 22 Aug 2007
For a movie with cheap special effects and a lousy budget this film does a credible job at holding it's own. Although, it doesn't really hold a candle to the "warriors" film as to which it is so similar. Overall worth seeing but definately could have been better
