Movie | The Killer Elite | Pass

Wild man Sam Peckinpah directs this tale of two freelance bodyguards that work for a private CIA-like company. One double-crosses the other and the fun begins!

There is some uneven editing (some boring plot elements are just too long), acting and the soundtrack is painfully dated but this movie has it all - Ninja, guns, psychopath hitmen for hire, San Francisco, neat cars, secret ops, backstabbing and James Caan, Robert Duvall, Burt Young and Mako!

The character, vibe and flavors of the film outdo its' shortcomings and it's a sleeper keeper. One and a half thumbs up!
