Killer Elite (2011)
Directed by Gary
McKendry this film claiming to be based on a true story features
Jason Statham, Clive Owen and Robert De Niro. A mercenary is forced
to come out of retirement to hunt down former British special forces
soldiers to save his friend.
There are huge
problems with the content of this film, it departs massively from
it's source material which is in itself some what questionable to
begin with. Attempting to make the hit men more sympathetic does not
work given their actions and if the events of the film was based on
changing them from terrorists is borderline offensive.
The execution of the film is not bad but the moral quagmire of the
content is just too much to get past with this film.
2/5
