a5c7b9f00b When his mentor is taken captive by a disgraced Arab sheik, a killer-for-hire is forced into action. His mlission: kill three members of Britain's elite Special Air Service responsible for the death of his sons.
Loosely based on a true story, Killer Elite pits two of the worlds' most elite operatives - Danny, a ruthless killer-for-hire (<a href=">Jason Statham) and Hunter, his longtime mentor (<a href=">Robert De Niro) - against the cunning leader of a secret society of former Special Air Service operatives('Clive Owen'). Covering the globe from Australia to Paris, London and the Middle East, Danny and Hunter are plunged into a highly dangerous game of revenge and deception - where things are not always what they appear to be.
On the surface, Gary McKendry's Killer Elite has all the makings for a fun, action-packed popcorn flick. Even with talented actors like Robert De Niro, Jason Statham and Clive Owen, Killer Elite fails to be gripping or thrilling due to the stale subject matter and flat direction. There is surprisingly little fun to be had with the mediocre acting from our leads or the dull and forgettable action sequences. Killer Elite rarely realizes it's potential for a fun action flick and ends up just another forgettable and completely disposable bore because of it.<br/><br/>It really is hard to criticize Killer Elite for it's dull subject matterit claims to be based on a true story, but the story told here is nothing we've never heard before. The story is simply "recently retired agent blackmailed to do one final job." Even though it is based on a true story, it still feels recycled and uninspired. Although, there was actually one aspect to the story that was fairly interesting and quite enjoyable. The contracts that were to be carried out by the team must be made to look like accidents, and these short hit scenes were admittedly quite awesome. While these scenes are entertaining and clever, they only make up a small portion of the film's run-time, making the rest an increasingly tedious slog. <br/><br/>There is a noticeable lack of substance that plagues Killer Eliteit struggles to generate any interesting ideas or plot developments. Even some of the action scenes lack adrenaline or excitement, due to the shoddily choreographed hand-to-hand combat and gunplay. <br/><br/>Killer Elite is certainly watchable, but there are very few redeemable qualities to make you ever want to watch the film again. The story, aside from the assassinations, is mediocre, the characters are flimsy and the action is unimpressive and dull. Even if you are just looking for a fun and disposable action flick, Killer Elite only manages to be completely disposable. An uninteresting story is played out by seemingly uninterested actors, making the entire experience feel cheap. It's impossible to recommend Killer Elite to anyonethe lack of substance makes it a mere skeleton of the film that it could be. Additionally, on a less relevant note, there was something noticeably off about a 68 year-old Robert De Niro wielding a machine gun.
This film is not one of Staham's or De Niro's best work, to say it was based on a true story is also slightly misleading,the plot is lifted, with a few changes, from Ranulph Fienes book "The Feathermen". A tale of a dying fathers revenge on the killers of his sons and a secret organisation set up to protect former SAS members, the book was produceda fictional work in 1991 and caused a good deal of controversy. As a fictional work it is okay, but to claim it is based on a true story is not. The film itself is not so bad though the role of De Niro is missing from the book. A good way to pass the time but nothing special.
Killer Elite is distinguished by one no-mercy, eye-gouging, testicle-punching brawl, and one whoppingly indifferent screenplay.
Yes, it is based on The Feather Men by British adventurer Sir Ranulph Fiennes. The book tells the story of four British Army soldiers, including two members of the Special Air Service, who are assassinated by a hit squad known"The Clinic". The murders are carried out over a 17-year period, on the orders of a Dubai sheikh whose son was killed by British forces in Oman during a battle with communist guerrillas.
