Trailer Watch: Killer Elite rocks you like a hurricane

Based on Sir Ranulph Fiennes’ novel, The Feather Men (not the Sam Peckinpah film, The Killer Elite), Killer Elite — purported to be based on actual events, but I’m gonna gets veerrryy loosely — is about 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).” Chuck‘s Yvonne Strahovski gets fourth billing as a ridiculously hot blone woman who seems to be friendly with Statham’s character.

Director Gary McKendry is a new one to me; the Irish commercial director has only one short film to his credit on IMDB, but this action in this trailer looks pretty ace. We’ll see if he can tell a story as well on September 23.
