I didn't wanted it to be average, I was hoping for more. Jason Statham, with Clive Owen and Robert De Niro was an exacting trio to watch. The acting from all the actors was perfect. The problems is that the characters weren't developed at all. I mean sure, it's an action movie, but it would have been better to know at least something about them. Also, there was really a lot of things going one. The movie is 105 minutes long, but you feel like it's 125 minutes long, just because of the huge amount of scenes. I don't care when some people say that Jason Statham is always playing in these types of movies. He's perfect for these type of roles. I don't remember once being bored watching one of his movies (okay, expect for '' Blitz ''). Why do you think he's constantly winning these roles ? Because he can bring something cool out of an assassin, a spy, whatever. He can pull it off. Nobody can mess with him, and oh yeah, and he's a complete bad ass. Plus, I really liked the 80 's mustaches, they were cool. Anyway, it's an average movie, but enjoyable at the same time.… Expand

Killer Elite is just another benign thriller that doesn't let us in on its reason for existence. What really perplexes me, is why big names like DeNiro, Statham, and Owen chose to participate in this swill.

Unlike others of it's kind it surprisingly great plot behind it that's only sweetened by the fact that it's based on a true story and has a main character who doesn't want to kill, but is forced into it by means out of his control, and honestly it's really refreshing to see a movie like this where the main character avoids pulling the trigger as much as possible. It's a great movie that has a few issues holding it back from being amazing like a romance that just feels unnecessary, and the occasional lackluster moment, but the lackluster moments are few and far between, and it's not the most unnecessary romance ever (Captain America still wins award in my opinion) but it still just seems like it's kinda just in the movie for the sake of having it. All in all if your looking for a great action flick with a great plot this is one of your best choices.… Expand

B for dark, cunning plot.
B for characters.
C for obscurity.

The plot was pretty obscure and a bit hard to follow. A little intimidating to imagine stuff like that happens in real life. I don't doubt it and I can totally appreciate that this was based on a non fiction book and a true story. The dark sides of life that it covers is somewhat scary yet very intriguing.

Jason Statham is one of my favorite actors. Any movie can be a complete flop but if you put him in it there's still saving grace and I'll definitely watch it just because he's in it. Not only that but he's hot :). Clive Owen, Robert De Niro, Dominic Purcell, Aden Young, Yvonne Strahovski (chick from Chuck. Yes she really is Australian, schweet accent) - very nice cast.

Aside from the underdogs saving the day type of scenario, I really enjoyed that they were true to 1980. The glasses, the hair, the cars, the big phones, no cells, no computers, people using pen and paper. My how times have changed.

This is the most bada$$ ive ever seen Clive Owen, he was very good, and obviously Statham was Statham.

"Show me a beautiful woman, and I'll show you a bloke who's sick of her s**t." Davies, Killer Elite

This is just one of several nuggets of meat-headed wisdom you will pick up from this cast of "blokes". Sure...this is a"Show me a beautiful woman, and I'll show you a bloke who's sick of her s**t." Davies, Killer Elite

This is just one of several nuggets of meat-headed wisdom you will pick up from this cast of "blokes". Sure...this is a testosterone-driven guy flick, but there is enough regret, romance and moralizing to make it potentially palatable for the more adventurous members of the softer sex. The movie does assume you know the background of the story.

To enjoy this film in the proper context, you will need to know a little something about the Special Air Service ("SAS"), an elite British Army corp. Think of it as the equivalent of the American Navy Seals. According to my "sources" *, the SAS was originally commissioned in 1941, and since that time has been disbanded and then resurrected on numerous occasions, most recently for purposes of counter-terrorism. According to Michael Smith, author of the book Killer Elite, members of the SAS told him in confidence that the SAS did operate in Oman to protect British oil interests. It is interesting to note that because this Oman mission was secret, it would be difficult to document the veracity of these accounts, leaving the author with great latitude to embellish the details. The film Killer Elite is based on Smith's book, and it makes for a tense and riveting action movie, true or not.

With that background, the story opens on professional assassins Danny (Jason Statham) and his long-time mentor and partner Hunter (Robert De Niro) as they are making a hit in Mexico. After Danny blows the guy away in his limo, he sees there is also a child in the car. As Danny looks at the boy's stunned, blood-spattered face, he loses focus, almost botching the getaway. Immediately following, Danny vows to get out of the business and lead a quiet, respectable life with his lady love near his childhood home in Australia. Easier said than done. Danny is everyone's cash cow, and partner Hunter has a family to support. However, because it is Danny who is in demand, Hunter is suckered into becoming a decoy in Oman. In order to save him, Danny is coerced into taking an assassination job in England worth 6 million dollars.

And what a job. Danny must find the SAS operatives who killed the three sons of Sheik Amr, first obtaining a videoed confession AND making it look like an accident. Danny is more than capable, and with the assistance of Davies (Dominic Purcell), he makes it look easy. However, Danny does not count on the Feathermen, a secret society of former SAS who continue to carry out government objectives with a "light touch", except for renegade Featherman Spike played by Clive Owen, who cannot detach from the intensity of his former life in the SAS. When the "accidental deaths" of two comrades who served in Oman come to his attention, Spike's loyalty sets him on the path to prevent the death of the third. In the end, Danny is pitted against Spike for the final face-off. On top of this, the agent played by Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje is willing to compromise Danny for his cut of the $6 MM.

The beauty of this film is not just the intrigue or the fight sequences, but how it ultimately elevates both a mercenary assassin and a renegade soldier to anti-hero status, ennobling their killing with higher purpose and redemption. It's worth watching just to appreciate this phenomenon alone. Jason Statham (Crank, Revolver) is in fine form, his menacing face and hardened body serving once again as an unstoppable fighting machine. Clive Owen (Duplicity, Children of Men), complete with damaged eye, looks and plays the part of Spike with grizzled passion. Robert De Niro (Limitless, Little Fockers) brings bumbling humor and good will to the role of Hunter, while Yvonne Strahovsky brings the sexy, girl-next-door sweetness to the woman waiting at home for Danny. If you are unfamiliar with the background, Killer Elite will leave you behind for the first 15-20 minutes, but it is no less riveting as you begin to piece the story together. I highly recommend this film for lovers of high octane action thrillers. * Wikipedia

The list is long. There are that many pros for this movie to make it entertaining. That's too bad, because the round-up of actors was something of a good promise for this one.

Since it's domination of the late 80s, Action movies have really suffered due to a lack of decent story lines and an infestation of stars, who landed these roles, simply due to their size, but Statham is changing all that, as evident by his latest film, Killer Elite. Based on the novel, The Feather Men by Ranulph Fiennes, Killer Elite covers the events, following a British covert op in the early 80s. The British Navy Seals (The S.A.S.) secretly forced out oil rich land owners in the Middle East, by whatever means necessary, in order to steal their land. Five years later, on his death bed, one sheik is seeking revenge for the death of 3 of his sons. To do this, the sheik has hired an elite team of underground hit men to take out the men suspected of killing his children, not an easy task when you consider that all the targets are highly trained former military operatives. Jason Statham stars as Danny Bryce, the team leader who is forced out of retirement, to take on the hardest job of his career. As has become common place, Statham is terrific and really carries the story on his back. Killer Elite is a someone complicated plot, with a first time director, but thanks to Statham's experience, you'll think these guys have been working together for year. As his reputation has continued to grow, bigger and bigger stars want to work with Statham, and any time you can add names like Robert De Niro and Clive Owen to a film, it only enhances it and boosts it's potential audience. Aside from just the amazing action sequences and covert maneuvers, the story adds real life drama to the film, by including shady government cover ups, double agents, and even police involvement in the events, making for the rarest of rare in the Action genre, a film with a deep and compelling plot. That's what really makes this film so good, it's not just about the chases, explosions, and killing, there is a real story here, that is unpredictable and very well written. Killer Elite may not top Parker as Statham's best movie, but it's pretty close. If you enjoy a fast-paced, edge of your seat movie, with a lot of interesting characters and a deep plot, than you won't want to miss this film.… Expand

The truth is, this film is not smart. It is a dumbed down version of Bourne meets The A Team.

I didn't even get their names, because all the characters muttered swears and British slangs throuought. There is little action to cheer about, there is guns and blood, and sometimes it doesn't even make sense. Clive Owen looks worse than ever in his role about a guy who wants to chase down the guy who works with Jason Statham.

I know Jason Statham doesn’t have the best track record when it comes to the quality of the movies he stars in but when add Dominic Purcell, Clive Owen, and the great Robert De Niro, to me it’s worth the shot.

Killer Elite, did not live up to the expectation such a cast would inspire. They establish a quick connection between the men in the beginning then dive right into the story. It's kinda set up like a heist movie, for which you desperately want them to succeed, even though they're not stealing anything but are killing people. The film does have action sequences and a nice opening scene but then it falls flat and gets boring for a while.

The story is weak and repetitive and the cast does nothing to elevate it. Statham barely shines in the action scenes, Owen is so bland in his portrayal of a trained killer, Dominic Purcell sporting an English accent is weird but if only he looked confident doing it he wouldn’t have made a joke of himself, and De Niro is hardly in the movie. The only redeeming quality Killer Elite has is the historical & geopolitical aspect behind the story.

Killer Elite was a disappointment for me, it was barely entertaining and ran too long (120min). @wornoutspines… Expand
