Die Killer-Elite (1975)
5KDie Killer-Elite: Directed by Sam Peckinpah. With James Caan, Robert Duvall, Arthur Hill, Bo Hopkins. Mike Locken, who works for a private security firm affiliated with the C.I.A., is betrayed by his partner and left apparently crippled for life.
“u0026quot;The Killer Eliteu0026quot; is a rather uneven film that contains some of the typical Peckinpah magic but the plot is the big drawback here. It seems to take a while for James Caan to catch up with Robert Duvall after what happens at the beginning. Then the plot includes unnecessary distractions that have nothing to do with anything. The action scenes compensate a lot and I do like the Kung Fu moments (though not in the league of Bruce Lee). The setting in being that of San Francisco, is a good idea. It makes from it being either New York or Los Angeles.”
