Ardor

(2011)

Killer Elite is a thriller about a bunch of elite soldiers that are about to get caught up in a dangerous revenge mission. Danny (Jason Statham) has retired from the game and is living happily in Australia. He is brought out of retirement when his mentor Hunter (Robert de Niro) is being held hostage by a rich Arab after he failed to complete a $6 million revenge mission to kill 3 SAS soldiers who killed the rich Arab 3 oldest sons. Danny reluctantly meets with the rich Arab and it turns out he has been bought in to finish the job or Hunter will be killed. So, Danny heads to London and brings back his old team to help him kill them and make each look like an accident after they get a confession from them. But, things don't quite go to plan. Yes, they are killed, but not the way they were intended. And these soldier's deaths alerts their head Logan (Clive Owen) who investigates and finds he is neck deep in something he can't control. After all 3 soldiers are killed, Hunter is let go and Danny heads back to his girl Anne (Yvonne Strahovski), but then the rich Arab finds out there is one more soldier involved and he has written a book out it. Danny is called reluctantly back thanks to a threat made towards Anne, but this time things aren't going to go to plan. A lot is going on in this mostly Australian made thriller (and mostly in Melbourne). I love seeing local sights in foreign films including local bit part actors, but I did get a good laugh at the train station I frequent being used as a Paris subway station. Flagstaff Station is a shithole and even the computer whizzes couldn't gussy it up. It's such a shithole, it's closed on the weekends! Anyway, there's something a little off with this film. The plot is just not believable for something based on a true story and it goes on and on and on. Jason Statham doesn't seem to have the heart to bring his usual self to this film. This also seems like a step down for Clive Owen and Yvonne Strahovski has a pretty forgettable role. I wish Killer Elite was better, it's not that bad and it had potential, but in the end it just doesn't deliver enough thrills.

Shank

(2010)
Shank set in the horrible future of 2015 in London where the streets are riddled with gangs and people are desperate just for the some highly priced 'munchies'. One gang, lead by Rager, has set up a robbery of a truck full of 'munchies', which they would on sell to Boogie, who runs a lucrative stall at the market. But, during the robbery, another gang run by Tugz also want to jack the truck and a chase ensues. Tugz's gang catches Junior and almost kills him, but Rager comes in a saves the day and takes on the gang by himself. He is not good enough and is stabbed to death by Tugz. Distressed that his big brother is dead, he wants revenge and convinces his ragtag gang to join him in finding Tugz. Along the way, they meet up with a number of colourful characters and gangs including an all-girl gang, who help them find Tugz. Oh wow, this is a terribly silly film. It sooooo wants to be The Warriors, but is laughable all the way. Setting the film in the next few of years was the first mistake. Then, there's idea that there's no guns or drugs, in a dystopic wasteland. There's a ridiculous dog fight scene set in video game mode where an apparently near dead dog can mangle a near perfect dog to death. Oh and the street lingo is absolutely painful to listen to. Hell, I only watched it to see Jennie Jacques and Kaya Scodelario and they don't turn up 'til after the hour mark and by then, all is lost. Bah! It's time to rewatch The Warriors. Can you DIG IT?
