Statham, Owen and De Niro become lethal murderers in “Killer Elite”

Action flick “Killer Elite” which unites Clive Owen, Jason Statham and Robert De Niro in front of the camera is set to hit cinemas this fall.

The film, which is based on a true story, races across the globe from Australia to Paris, London and the Middle East and tells the adventures of a retired member of Britain’s Elite Special Air Service who returns to action when his mentor, Hunter (De Niro), is taken captive by a pack of deadly assassins. To make the rescue, he must complete a near-impossible mission of killing three tough-as-nails assassins with a cunning leader (Owen). 

“Killer Elite” (Ambience Entertainment) co-stars Prison Break’s Dominic Purcell, Chuck’s starlet Yvonne Strahovski and Ben Mendelsohn (“Animal Kingdom”, Screen Australia, 2010).

Irish director Gary McKendry makes his big budget debut as a director with that movie, which will be out on September 23. 

Below is the movie theatrical trailer.
