The new bikini pics this week , she looks pretty hot. Gained some weight and is curvy again. And as for her toe thumbs, she could shove those up my ass any day.

Stoked by the casting, but disappointed that it's not a remake of the Peckinpah film. The Killer Elite is probably the one film of Peckinpah's that should be remade.

Looks pretty good. Loving the use of "Rock You Like A Hurricane".

Statham like we want him. I'm there. And apparently, according to some website I came across and forgot to bookmark, the novel that this film is based on is based on the same true story that the novel that Peckinpah's KILLER ELITE was based on. So they're two adaptations of two novels based on the same material. I wish I could get some stronger confirmation, including an account of the supposedly true story they're both based on.

Not convinced. The elements are there (cast, action, and a hint of humour) but the Underworld colour scheme and the shaky cam that the fast cut trailer couldn't hide makes me fear this'll be jittery/machingun edited dreck.
I'll maybe give it a rent but watch it with low expectations.

It looks like they're doing a lot of real stunts for this. I like how that gives it a more grounded feel instead of CGI laced.

I never clicked on this thread before because the title was seemed generic and De Niro and Statham don't excite me. But I was at the movie theater the other day and saw a poster for a badass Clive Owen movie and I was hooked. Seriously, this thread would be up to page 5 by now if Clive Owen's name was in the thread title.

That's a far better trailer. I've gone from mostly disinterested to cautiously optimistic.

DeNiro and Statham in the same movie is enough to get me interested, but the fact that they are on the same side? Yeah I'm there.

Not a Statham fan but this looks interesting and could be a great popcorn type flim.

Review is spoilerized for some really interesting story elements. Sounds fucking interesting as shit now.
if that bolded part is true..well that's even more surprising...I'd like to believe that...very much so.
