I sometimes think Jason Statham shows some promise, but then other times he seems determined too be just another star off mediocre action movies. I thought "Killer Elite" might off been ace because off Robert De Niro and Clive Owens presence, but never judge a book by its cover.
This is the Jason Statham off the "Transporter" movies that's in this one. In the film he plays a retired killer, forced back into action when De Niro (who was once his mentor) is kidnapped. Queue lots off random people connected to the situation being offed and eventually De Niro being saved.
There are barely any wise-cracks in the movie so I suppose it's supposed to being taken seriously, and is even based on a true story (although I doubt some off the "James Bond" stunts Statham pulls off are based on what really happened to influence this). There's some half decent action and the plot isn't overly ridiculous, making for an overall average movie. De Niro especially is usually in better though. Although maybe not to much lately.
