Viewing Notes

The biggest problem with KILLER ELITE is that it doesn’t know what it wants to be: Jason Statham action romp with quips, or serious, thoughtful action movie. There’s also a useless, throwaway romance that detracts from the movie and gives Robert Deniro a reason to stay in the film longer and justify a paycheck; I don’t care if it was a part of the real story or not. Also, I fell asleep if that tells you anything.
Memorable line: “You can call me MFWIC…mother fucker what’s in charge.”
