Another hit from Statham,
By
This review is from: Killer Elite [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
Having missed this movie when it hit the cinemas, I watched Killer Elite last night at home on dvd. The fact I then made the effort to jump onto Amazon to write a review should tell you it's a decent movie straight away. If you are unfamiliar with Jason Statham movies, or just action movies in general, there are a few simple rules to adhere to in order to get maximum enjoyment from them:1) Statham plays the "same" character in almost every single one of his movies. If you're going into a Statham movie expecting him to read Shakespeare, leave now and don't waste your 90 minutes. 2) It's an action film first and everything else second. Meaning the plot will have holes (for an assassin, 'the welshman' here is less reliable than a shotgun with chocolate bullets..), there will be countless errors in realism (set in the eighties, but notice the cafe prices in Euros..) If you go into an action movie and want to review things like that then you shoudn't be watching it as you're clearly looking for ways to put it down or feel good about yourself. Jason Statham is doing the kind of thing we, as action fans, used to appreciate from the likes of Sylvester Stallone and Jean Claude Van Damme. Every one of his movies is familiar to the last and the plot could be picked apart by over-analytical, self appointed critic types but the fact is we don't care. Commando (the most terrible movie of all time in terms or realism, plot holes and character development) stands as one of the greatest action movies ever made. That tells the story here. He provides great action movies on dvd regularly and this is another one. He ain't never gonna win an Oscar but this is watchable and fun for guys. Get a pizza, watch this and have some good proper 'man film' entertainment.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Passable thriller,
By PJ Rankine (Wallington, Surrey United Kingdom) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Killer Elite [DVD] (DVD)
I hope this film doesn't herald a downturn for Jason Statham as this is not his best work. Sure he'll never win an oscar but he is an entertaining action hero. Based on an allegedly true story this film is based in the eighties and a lot of effort has been put into making it look authentic so why did they blow it all with massive non UK registration number plates on the cars? I know the US audience won't even notice so obviously we don't matter in the UK. This film will never set the world alight but its an entertaining enough hour and a half.
