It’s a happy day when there’s a Jason Statham sweat-and-blood fest on the horizon.
And when that sweat-and-blood fest also is studded with squints, growls, snarls and glares from Robert De Niro and Clive Owen? Well, then I’d say that is worth your time and mine.
What is this glorious film, you ask? It’s Killer Elite, and it has a trailer up at Yahoo! Movies.
It’s not a remake of Sam Peckinpah’s film, but is based on The Feather Men by Ranulph Fiennes. Other than a bit in the Middle East, it seems to bear very little resemblance to the book. But when you have a choice between accuracy and including “Rock You Like a Hurricane,” which do you choose? I don’t know. I hope I never have to make that call.

Either Statham or Owen is usually good for the missus to have her ticket sold, so I don’t think we miss this one.
Oh, this looks fucking awesome.
There is no choice, Elisabeth. Rock You Like A Hurricane is always the way to go.
BTW, Killer Elite officially just made my 2011 must-see list.
DeNiro in Ronin mode!
The Killer Elite does look…Awesome!
Elisabeth Rappe, Do not forget, TKE is also the debut film for…Yvonne Strahovski, a movie actress now, after NBC announced they will…CHUCK, her tv series after 13 episodes! To me The Killer Elite’s selling points are…Statham, Strahovski, Owen, DeNiro!
my god that was life changing.
Plus for Owen, big plus for Yvonne. The rest is merely more of this post-action, overedited flash doodoo. There does not even seem to be a plot (much less a story) in this one. Pass without so much as a rubberneck.
What the fuck was going on?
Terrible trailer. Worst use of a song in a trailer ever.
Owen with a cop ‘stache = in-fcukin-credible!
Headline should have read “Statham returns to acting alongside other real actors”, Welcome back big guy, been a long time since Snatch.
