Review: Killer Elite

“While Killer Elite does sport some decent chase scenes and meticulous action sequences, it’s resoundingly poorly conceived in every other aspect, most notably, the terrible screenplay. Jason Statham is not a strong performer, but is obviously good in action sequences. He’s saddled here with playing the assassin with a heart of gold. Killing obviously torments him, but since he’s such a good killing machine, he will never get away from “the life,” his loved ones always used against him to kill the enemies of many a nefarious figure the world over.”
