It sounds good, but like my response to the last few Jason Statham movies, he's getting type cast.
I would love to see him in something off the cuff and completely opposite to what he is used to doing.

Whenever I watch one of these films, it's just like he's the transporter all over again.

Loved the car scenes but the rest was a bit look-warm. Still enjoyed it but doubt I'd watch it again.

I agree that he`s become typecast but this film is good and it`s based on a true story around the book The Feather Men by Rannulph Fiennes Worth a watch

Yes, I did some googling about it and it does sound good, so I might give it a go.

Killer Elite is average at best, you don't need your brain engaged to watch it that is for sure.

Best film I have seen recently is Stakeland.... a gritty, well made, low key and somewhat surpising hooror yarn!

Got the blu-ray for a fiver a few weeks ago and finally watched it. Really good film - much better than I though it would be. Crap title though, as it's a bit more than just some beat 'em-up movie.

I can't watch anything with Jason Statham in now without uttering the words " *^%# you Chelios"

Don't know why, and it drives the mrs nuts

Yes! Other films mentioned previously were ranging from mediocre to OK.

End of Watch is superb! Very Training Day-esque. Don't be put off by the wobbly camera for the first 20 minutes.

Finally someone on this thread who actually knows what a good film is.

The Perks of being a Wallflower, give it a chance.
