Watch Killer Elite For Free

Load of rubbish!!

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

When I saw Jason and Robert as the stars with Colin thrown in, how in the world can you not buy a ticket to this? I saw the DVD and said I have to have it based on the names alone. These boys are killers in the film and know their stuff. This keeps you glued to the screen to watch them come out and get to work. Well they come out but don't quite rise to the occasion as one may expect. However you keep wanting them to so there is your entertainment. Waiting to see them hit their peaks. Jason does some impressive work but doesn't leave you with a lasting impression of it. Perhaps part of the movie plot is to prove his heart is not in it anymore? As for Deniro, he is there but he isn't there. Watch to see what I mean. Colin makes for a delicious don't mess with me guy and the results are to watch this but I must say it doesn't have memorable scenes making it a comeback experience. The DVD came with deleted scenes which they should have left in and made it a 2.5 hour release. It would have helped the picture some. I don't like it when Hollywood or whoever the powers are when they take name brands and give the impression of a block-buster a callin when it is not. You can only fool people once and shame on them. Fool me twice, shame on me. I will not be shamed. Lets make quality the standard over paychecks boys and we all go home a winner. In your case, your win goes on and on. Keep this in mind on the next flick you boys do.

Since Lee Marvin and Charles Bronson are no longer "in shape", for many years, action film lovers have to live with guys like Vin Diesel and Jason Statham (Stallone & Schwarzenegger are something different). Personally, I don't like neither Diesel nor Statham, the first one is too awkward in everything he does, the second is not convincing. If I have to choose between them, I choose Statham, he's more sympathetic. Not really tough as he wants to look, in all his movies he is the same, he's not at all what you call a versatile actor (much more tough is Charlize Theron in "Atomic Blonde", plus, she's a real good Actress). De Niro is no longer what he was once, anyhow he still has his unique charm of old-fashioned fox. I loved the scene when he recovers his watch ("I got to get my watch back...") Yvonne Strahovski is cute and nothing more. The other actors are almost all functional, they play their roles well, except for Rodney Afif, who is not at all convincing as the sheikh. I've seen the movie twice, with great care, as usual, I know what I'm saying. It has some good action, tracking, beatings, explosions, not bad. From some time, De Niro likes a lot to shoot with the machine gun, his character, Hunter, is like Sam's twin brother (or clone) from "Ronin"(much better film - both films with some action in Paris). And Monsieur De Niro speaks French correctly. The best of the whole movie is Clive Owen as Spike.

A killer for hire is sent on a mission to rescue his old mentor.Starring Jason Statham, Clive Owen and Robert De Nero.Screenplay by Matt Sherring. Based on the novel by Ranulph Fiennes.Directed by Gary McKendry.This is an average shoot them up action movie.The action sequences and the cinematography are pretty good. I liked the whole eighties theme and it is convincing. The plot is nothing new. It's an average action movie plot with a few twists and turns towards the end but nothing that hasn't been done before.The big let down was the acting. The two main leads were unconvincing and pretty wooden but I guess that's quite normal in a lot of action movies of this type. Robert De Niro was completely wasted. For an actor of his talents to appear in this with nothing but a bit part is quite sad. was he just after a pay day?An average action flick but instantly forgettable.7/10

Danny (Jason Statham) is a former elite services operative who finds himself having to come out of retirement when he discovers that his mentor Hunter (Robert De Niro) has been kidnapped by an Arab sheikh. The sheikh explains that he will let Hunter go and will pay him the sum of 6 million if he kills the 3 men responsible for killing the sheikh's sons. He calls upon his former associates Davies (Dominic Purcell) and Meier (Ade Young) to assist him with this task. However, this is no ordinary task and Danny and co are being forced to kill highly trained Special Air Services operatives led by Spike (Clive Owen). Will Danny be successful in this mission and ultimately free his mentor? Killer Elite starts off well and the final third of the film was pretty good. For me, the problem was the middle portion of the film which to me was just not particularly engaging, lacking in excitement and it lacked suspense. We have to remember that Danny and his operatives will at best only be as skilled as the Special Air Services members, yet in every single instance when Danny and Spike's operatives battle it out it was always Danny's men that came out on top. This is good so far as cheering on the good guy's goes, but seeing Danny and his boys always getting the upper hand made the film less tense and ultimately less believable. I always feel that the amount of enjoyment that you get from a film depends on how believable you find the characters or their actions and Danny's boys always getting the upper hand so easily didn't ring true to me. Then we come to how repetitive the film was - every time one of Spike's operative got killed we had a board meeting, operative killed, board meeting, rinse, repeat yawn!!!. The twist isn't entirely surprising and I found it to be a 'groan' type twist rather than a 'shock' type twist.Killer Elite isn't all bad and one of its major strengths is in its characters - Statham plays another ass kicker with a heart (it is becoming a bit of a cliché with him, but generally if I like a character then it means that I'll want to root for them). Likewise De Niro's character is also a likable guy. The best character for me in this film was Davies - in all honesty, prior to this film I'd only seen Dominic Purcell in Prison Break and thought he was a bit wooden when he was in that series. However, in Killer Elite he really brought his character to life and I can now see that he is a much better actor than I originally gave him credit for - all this despite his dodgy tash and beard combo lol. The era has also been captured well - lots of 70's car models and retro tunes - I remember 'I fought the law' playing at one point, but I'm sure there were countless other examples.Killer Elite is an OK film where its only really big faults are in its rather dull and repetitive story. I feel a bit bad butchering this film as it is based on a true story, but I just found it hard to get into it. As mentioned, the era was captured well, the characters were pretty cool and the acting was generally good. If only the story had been a bit more engaging.
