    Looks like a badass assassin revenge flick.

    Deniro does garbage movies now. After all his amazing movies when he was younger, i saw him aging into someone who could play bad ass older characters but i was wrong. Same with Pacino. Washed up. The guy hardly resembles or sounds like the same person in The Godfather. Retire.

    This looks like The Mechanic except with Deniro.

    Looks like a good action movie- I'd definitely watch it.
    Or maybe I'm just a sucker for Statham movies after the Transporter; I even watched 'the Mechanic' knowing it was going to be a pile of crap.

    Points for using the symphony version of 'Rock you like a Hurricane'

    Would be awesome if they let Clive Owens win instead of Statham :)

    I think you might last longer than 20 minutes due to her:

    the original Mechanic with Bronson was good.
    The Killer Elite, originally casted James Caan and Robert Duval was ok

    Just watched that. I enjoy Jason Statham movies, so it was ok for me. Not exactly the greatest movie ever, though.

    I have not seen the movie yet, but the book on which it is based (The Feather Men by Ranulph Fiennes) is incredible - one of the best I read last year. Based on a true story, and you should read some of the achievements of the author. Amongst other things, he once ran 5 marathons on 5 different continents in 5 consecutive days.
