Killer Elite


The question that came to mind when I was watching this movie is who is the best? The Navy Seals, The SAS (Special Air Service), or this elite team of ex mercenaries that includes Jason Statham, Clive Owen and Robert De Niro.
The movie starts when Statham’s mentor (De Niro) is taken captive, His mission: kill three assassins dispatched by their cunning leader.
The flick is based on a true story and there is a lot of dialogue. The story has a couple of twist in it so you will have to pay attention to keep up with what is going on. As with all Stratham movies there is plenty of action and Clive Owen is a great adversary. For once we see De Niro in a strong role vs. the weak Wall St. sap that he played in Limitless.
The best action scene in the movie is Statham in kicking ass tied to a chair.

Verdict:
If you like Statham you will get your money’s worth however with Clive Owen and De Niro I expected more.
