The story wasn't bad at all. There's more to keep the viewers engaged - a little surprise here and there - the tense was properly built so it didn't leave the viewers with the feeling "everything will come up nice in the end of the day". There's one thing that doesn't seem to fit well though, since it was introduced suddenly near the end with only a little hint before. The action sequences were good but not incredible - still enjoyable regardless.

Nothing major wrong with this film. Quite enjoyed it actually. Some good action sequences (it's got Jason Statham in it, so it should) and the storyline was fairly engaging. I'm think JS kept forgetting whether he was playing British or American though as I'm sure he slipped into his cringeworthy American accent a couple of times.

_Killer Elite_ is like that time Grandpa sat on the vibrator: there was lots of action mixed in with the random babbling that didn't go anywhere. Still, it was fun seeing Robert Deniro and Clive Owen trapped in a Jason Statham movie.

Killer Elite is a thrilling espionage film that's supposedly based on true events. The story follows a mercenary contracted to takeout an elite SAS unit that assassinated the sons of an influential Middle-Eastern family. Jason Statham, Clive Owen, Dominic Purcell, and Robert De Niro all give solid performances and have good onscreen chemistry that helps sell their comradery. However, there are a few turns and subplots that don't seem to work (which often happens when films try to rework true events into a cinematic plot). Still, the action scenes are exciting and the hunt for the SAS targets is full of suspense. Killer Elite is a well-crafted, entertaining film with an interesting story (true or not).
