I had a reasonably good time, on the whole...
Richard Roeper
Jason Statham cements status as top-level action star.
Peter Rainer
De Niro, in what amounts to an extended cameo, is radically miscast. That's still no excuse for his nonperformance, which is beyond lackluster.
Tom Long
Statham is just good enough to make one wish he'd challenge himself.
Ian Buckwalter
Jason Statham is enjoyable enough to watch that he can occasionally make one forget just how silly and dull a movie like Killer Elite really is.
Stephen Whitty
The movie's not stupid. And that makes it more than bearable and often a little fun.

James Adams
To be sure, first-time director Gary McKendry keeps things moving at an adrenalized pace, even through thickets of flashbacks. But this is precisely Killer Elite's major problem: motion at the expense of emotion.
User reviews
Worth NOT renting! Want action? Want awesome? Rent Scarface! The "Killer Elite"and is boring, pointless junk. I also thought with so many good actors and s title like this, it would be cool, but turns out, its all washed up. That should have been the title!
Really? I love the comment from the BIG Jason Statham fan that ," this movie was the worst." You obviously dont see many of his movies. He has sucked in far worse movies than this one... remember Juiced? He just happens to be playing opposite far better actors than usual here. So is ineptitude in this one stands out more.
Good waste of an afternoon. I enjoy most of Jason Statham's movies, but I felt that this was a disappointing addition to his resume. Also expected better from DeNiro.
One of my all time favorites Excellent excellent cast, brutal fights, funny at times. 5 stars, easy.
Incredible So twisted it had to be true. Great movie with a stellar cast. No honor among thieves....
Decent It was a bit slow, and it dragged out towards the end. But the action was somewhat worth it.
Baaaaaaad Worst movie ..boring .....action every 40 minutes ....ppl.rating this 5 stars ..dnt know what they talking about ....the whole movie got no sense.....
Really???? I'm a huge fan of Jason statham and I must say that this movie disappointed big time. Huge epic fail. By far the worse action movie I've ever known Jason to be in. Waste of time and talent. Wow .....
Killer Elite Great action flick, typical Jason Statham...would expect nothing less. With it being a possibly true story, makes it that much more thrilling.
Seriously Its boring movie eva.... Accents r so strong tht u cant even understand half of the movie!!!! :/
:( :( :( Worst movie I saw all year :( EPIC FAIL no story no plot no nothing no attachments to the charactors so if one dies u dont even care ps all I wach is action movies I know wat im talking about pps im a guy...so yea
Ehhh You would expect this movie to be more lively. Unfotunetly, every next step of the movie was predicted before it happened. Not much action. Not much adrenaline

But a guy who's used to putting his life on the line is about to get more than even he is used to when his last envelope of the day - a routine "premium rush" run - turns into a life-or-death chase through the streets of Manhattan.
