About this movie

Jason Statham (The Italian Job), Academy Award® nominee Clive Owen (Inside Man) and Academy Award® winner Robert De Niro (Raging Bull) star in Killer Elite, "one of the best action thrillers of the year!" (Richard Roeper) When two of the world's most elite operatives -- Danny, a retired contract killer (Statham), and Hunter, his longtime mentor (De Niro) -- go up against the cunning leader of a secret military society (Owen), their hunt takes them around the globe from Australia to Paris, London, and the Middle East. As the stakes rise along with the body count, Danny and Hunter are soon plunged into an action-packed game of cat-and-mouse where no one is what they seem. Based on a shocking true story, it's an explosive, no-mercy thrill ride where the predator ultimately becomes the prey.

Ratings and reviews

The wardrobe was good in spots. However the firearms of the period (1980) would have been a bit different: the Glock 17 was out of place and time for 1980. Didn't hit the market until 1982. Also the Sig Sauer wasn't produced until 1983 Statham's look did not exist in 1980. White men simply did not wear their hair that way unless they were in military Basic training, especially in the Seventies. That hair style was popularized by Black men in the Eighties and Nineties. White men would adopt it in the early 2000's, which is ironically when the actor made it big. that jacket he's wearing: not sure but that looks mid Eighties... Authenticity is everything with a period piece.... I was born in 1965 and can spot the flaws quickly. i didnt like it.

Worst movie I saw all year :( EPIC FAIL no story no plot no nothing no attachments to the charactors so if one dies u dont even care ps all I wach is action movies I know wat im talking about pps im a guy...so yea

Exactly what I would expect from an independent film, however not from Jason Statham. One of his worst movies.
