Leave your thoughts about Killer Elite.
| Spectrum (St. George, Utah)Bruce BennettWhile not an elite action film, and overall disappointing, its stars compliment a witty script, a couple of cool fight scenes, and exotic locales. |
| Flick FilosopherMaryAnn Johansongrunt grunt grunt *glower* [insert mockney swearing] bash crash punch kick [insert closeup of unshaven stubble] |
| HitFixDrew McWeenyI don't think Killer Elite is going to blow anyone away, but it's a solid action movie with a slightly-smarter-than-average script. |
| Flixist.comMatthew RazakI'm always a fan of more Yvonne Strahovski in my life, but her useless character in the film should have been the first thing to go when they were cutting this convoluted mess down to a reasonable running time. |
| Boston HeraldJames VerniereThe filmmakers claim their 'Killer Elite' is based on a true story. My bet is everything else about it is phony. |
| Kaplan vs. KaplanJeanne KaplanStatham, Owen and De Niro all give their best effort, but even they can't conquer a poorly written script. |
| IFC.comMatt SingerJason Statham beats up two dudes while he's tied to a chair. That is satisfaction. |
| Washington ExaminerKelly Jane TorranceThis might be a bit of a lark for Owen and De Niro, but the audience enjoys it just as much as we suspect they did. |
| Film Journal InternationalDaniel EaganMercenaries target ex-SAS agents who committed Middle East atrocities in a confusing, unsatisfying action thriller. |
| Film School RejectsRobert LevinThe picture entertains, at times legitimately and at others in a cheesy, '80s action sort of way |
