Although I found this movie amusing, I had a feeling it just could not decide on what type of film it wanted to be, a conspiracy or action film. It tried to be both, and came across liked it was trying too hard.
The story takes place in the early 80's, where gun for hire Danny(Jason Statham) nearly loses himself on a mission, decides to retire. But a year later, he gets a letter saying his mentor(Robert De Niro) has been kidnapped, and his told that he has to commit three kills, or they will kill his mentor. So Danny gets his old teammates together, and goes off on the assignments, But there mission gets complicated, when a SAS guy(Clive Owen) stumbles on to them.
De Niro, Owen, and Statham really shine in there own way. And some action scenes do work. Although for some parts it does have a pacing problem. Not a great film, but a amusing.
