I must admit, on paper, an ensemble cast of comic book characters in one movie looked to be one of
those convoluted mess of a film designed, yet fail, to please the fanboys (i.e. spider - man 3).
However, even though there are a decent number
of heavy - hitting action set - pieces, Killer Elite is a narrative
mess that
convolutes a pretty straight - forward plot with loads
of bizarre character relationships and added «drama» in an attempt to elevate the
film beyond a throwaway action experience.
