Based on a true story, Killer Elite races across the globe from Australia to Paris, London and the Middle East in the action-packed account of an ex-special ops agent (Jason Statham) who is lured out of retirement to rescue his mentor (Robert De Niro). To make the rescue, he must complete a near-impossible mission of killing three tough-as-nails assassins with a cunning leader (Clive Owen).
You can throw the based on a true story and add legit actors in to this, but it's still pretty much just another Jason Statham movie. If you like his movies - you will like this one. If you don't - you won't. Pretty much that simple. It had a basic story but kind of made it complicatingly annoying with a lot of back and forth in the past/present. The action was there and enjoyable as always (since I'm one that finds his type of movies entertaining). Bottom line - it's was watchable. I wasn't fully invested in every thing going on but enjoyed it enough to not turn it off.
I would lukewarmly reccomend it to Jason Statham fans. That's really about it though.
