The trailer promotes a slew of random action sequences, that look both awesome and silly to any action fan, but the actual film itself contains maybe 15 minutes of action, the rest of the film is bogged down by its crummy dialogue. The film should have tagged on a question mark at the end because I honestly didn’t know who the killer elite was/were."

One of the biggest complaints you hear about Netflix Streaming is their lack of quality films. To a certain extent I would agree with that sentiment but for whatever reason I don’t have as big of a problem with their lineup as some customers do. Most of the films I watch on Netflix are more geared towards older catalog titles than new releases so that probably has a lot to do with my higher level of satisfaction. For May however Netflix has added several new releases in addition to adding a large amount of interesting catalog titles.
About time. While I appreciate the selection of older movies, Netflix is seriously lacking with newer releases compared to other streaming services.
Starship troopers :)
I wish they'd add Season 4 of the old Twilight Zone though :( it looks kind of sad to see Seasons 1-3 then jumps right to 5.
While it promised to rock us like a hurricane, Killer Elite instead bores us with action movie clichés aplenty and uninspired action sequences.
I enjoyed this movie and I bought it. It's based on a true story and who better than the actors that were in to play the roles. It was good action and a good story.

After taking a few weeks off Movies Hate You Too is back with just a few new Blu-ray releases. Conversely Universal and 20th Century Fox are releasing several large assortments of catalog titles.
I can't wait to see this...missed it at the movies but have heard so many good things about it from everyone that I know that saw it.
