Four clips from the action flick Killer Elite have gone online. The convoluted plot centers on a retired special-ops agent (Jason Statham) who must leave his peaceful life and do some more murdering in order to free his mentor (Robert De Niro). Meanwhile, he’s being tracked by former SAS operative (Clive Owen) who works for a shadowy organization known as The Feathermen. If these clips give you the impression that the film isn’t very good, then these clips honestly represent the movie.
Hit the jump to check out the clips. Killer Elite opens September 23rd.
Here’s the inaccurate official synopsis for Killer Elite:
Based on a true story, Killer Elite races across the globe from Australia to Paris, London and the Middle East in the action-packed account of an ex-special ops agent (Jason Statham) who is lured out of retirement to rescue his mentor (Robert De Niro). To make the rescue, he must complete a near-impossible mission of killing three tough-as-nails assassins with a cunning leader (Clive Owen).
Clive Owen isn’t the leader of the “tough-as-nails” assassins and the “tough-as-nails” assassins are former SAS operatives who legitimately killed the sons of a sheik and now the sheik wants revenge. Here are the clips:

What an action dude! Love Jason Statham….in a bro-mance kinda way
I hope the climactic fight between Jason Statham and Clive Owen will knock everyone on their ass and be so amazing and action-packed, audiences all over the world will be left breathless.
Given we see Staham beat down Owen while tied to a chair in the trailer, that seems pretty unlikely.
“If these clips give you the impression that the film isn’t very good, then these clips honestly represent the movie.”
So, it turns out that the writer who made snarky comments about the film’s promotion ended up not liking the film. Shock horror.
Yea, it’s pretty bad when you can tell which posts are Matt’s by the level of needless snark involved.
Great tagline
WOW THIS MOVIE LOOKS AWFUL, LOOKS LIKE A STRAIGH TO DVD PRODUCTION TO ME.
REDBOX! OR TBS/TNT/USA FOR THAT MATTER. SO NOT INTERESTED IN THIS MOVIE.
