Killer Elite

Based on a shocking true story, Killer Elite pits two of the world’s most elite operatives—Danny, an ex-special ops agent and Hunter, his longtime mentor—against the cunning leader of a secret military society. Covering the globe from Australia to Paris, London and the Middle East, Danny and Hunter are plunged into a highly dangerous game of cat and mouse—where the predators become the prey.

Critics found Killer Elite a competently made but formulaic action thriller, with its cast and stunt work carrying a plot that many felt was muddled and unremarkable.
