Killer Elite review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 01/05/12
Danny (Statham) helps Hunter (De Niro) escape but fails. He is introduced to Sheikh Amr and is asked to kill three former SAS agents—Steven Harris (Lachy Hulme), Steven Craig, and Simon McCann—for killing his sons during the Dhofar Rebellion. Spike Logan (Clive Owen) and Danny slug it off. Danny fakes the killings and explains to Spike that there is somebody else who wants his agents killed because of the death of the three eldest sons. Some of the dialogue and action were dicey such as Danny’s escape on a chair while falling over landing on a van unscathed. Cinematography was radiant showing the sunset of Paris and various locations. Soundtrack and direction was sharp and action and storytelling fast paced. Killer Elite is a good action flick if only the character development was better for Hunter and Danny.
