Killer Elite
When his mentor is taken captive, a retired member of Britain's Elite Special Air Service is forced into action. His mission: kill three assassins dispatched by their cunning leader.
Killer Elite is a very underrated action thriller. It focuses more on story and characters that action. The performances are superb. Clive Owen owns every scene he's in, and Robert De Niro is also excellent. There's a really amazing fight scene between Jason Statham and Clive Owen that's just as good as the fight between Vin Diesel and The Rock in Fast Five. This movie kept me interested from start to finish, with bloody violence and hardcore action scenes. The negative critical reception it's received is madness. The only bad thing I can say is that the whole "based on a true story" is complete bullsh*t. I really enjoyed this movie a lot. Check it out.
