Well..this kind of show is what you would expect.. lots of action, some slight nudity.. nothing to take kids too but is fine for adults (your kids.. maybe not - though they probably play worse video games)
Good action, story was ok and if you expect more then go see a play. When you go to this kind of movie you expect action, violence and no brainer entertainment. Think it delivers this.
Its sinful that this is rated 14A when 14 yr. olds get to see it!! WARNING Parents: there was nudity etc. This story is True, which goes to Prove that revenge Doesn't Work. Obviously it isn't Right. One of the men was innocent and he was killed. These are the reasons 4 the 2 stars. Otherwise brilliant acting, plot and action.
One-and-a-half-star junk. Senseless violence and mumbling actors. I must be a moron; I have no clue what this thing was about. At some point I actually went into slumber. I do mot understand why a great actor like Robert de Niro get involved with this crap unless he's short of money.
Thought the pacing was decent, story unfolded nicely so that it gets more complicated as it progresses. I enjoyed it. Thought the cast was well selected - everyone did a damn good job. Not your typical action flick but it's cool to see that it was based on real events. One could *almost* call this a thinking man's action flick.
This movie ran a little bit long and it was derivitive but I still liked it. It is a good bad movie.
Ah, the Dark n Dirty side of Killer Elites... dirty secret wars, assassins club, and vengeance... and if really based on a true story... that is some story... Folks have to lighten up on why big names are in the movie as though they expect a 'formula action' film... this is not such a movie, where the bad guys get dispensed with efficiency and a quick bang. Much better than expected, and I enjoyed the plot complications, as well as how the story is presented... soldiers have a conscience... they are human after all, but assassins... hmmm
This could have been a very interesting film...however, bad screenwriting turns these "elite" killers into a pretty average looking bunch. 1 star.
This movie is like watching a race, Slow to Start, Middle keeps you entertained and the ending is worth the wait. Great action, Decent Story, Deniro and Statham are Great as a team.
Slam-bang intense action and thrills. Some scenes were unnecessary but other than that brilliant performances by Statham and DeNiro. Clive Owen has made a name for himself as well. One of the better shoot-em up action films with Statham in my opinion. Think Transporter meets The International.
