Here’s a new action packed clip from Killer Elite, this fall’s eagerly anticipated machismo-drenched bit of celluloid from first-time feature director Gary McKendry. The clip is called “Spike Chases Danny” and that pretty much says all you need to know. It’s 50 seconds of Jason Statham’s Danny running over rooftops etc while trying to elude Clive Owen’s Spike who continues to throw bullets at him.

I had to go to Facebook and “like” the movie in order to see the clip, which is all well and good, despite the fact that I hate being sent from one social media site (in this instance Twitter) to another in order to get some information, and usually when someone is trying to sell me something, in this case a movie ticket. Then when I clicked on the link to see the clip, I discovered it’s been posted to YouTube! Sheesh! I want my “like” back!

Oh well, marketing nimrods aside, I can not WAIT to see this movie! It stars Statham, Owen and Robert DeNiro and opens in the US and in the UK on 23 September – a date I already have circled in red on my calendar because that’s also when Machine Gun Preacher opens, however, Killer Elite will actually play near me on that date so it wins by default. I’ll have to wait for MGP to expand.
