Killer Elite Too much filler, not enough killer

Plot 1981. Danny Bryce (Jason Statham), a retired assassin, is coerced into putting together a kill squad to go after several SAS officer a sheikh believes killed his sons during the Oman war. Spike Logan (Clive Owen), an ex-officer, works for the Feather Men, an Establishment cadre out to keep what happened in Oman secret. Verdict A few good stunts, some tolerable brooding and one nice, if silly desert chase. But not essential.
