Jason Statham plus Clive Owen plus Robert De Niro should result in Duncan’s favourite film.
Yet that movie isnt the one youll be watching.
Said opening also has the good grace to inform us that its set in the 80s.
My God, I can virtually hear the power ballad.
And by this point, Clive Owen hasnt even appeared yet.
Could this be the first ever five star Statham film?
And a long way from it.
Yet as well as the cliched British weather, along comes a whole host of pseudo British stereotypes.
It leaves no room for any emotional impact.
Yes, thats right: not kill people.
Thats perhaps a symptom of how little they have to work with.
If only he and Statham had continued their team up throughout, this might have been better.
As it stands,Killer Eliteis a badly missed opportunity.
