About
The Killer Elite

**1/2 Not bad but not great either. This adaptation of Robert Rostand's "Monkey in the Middle" allows Sam Peckinpah to handle two personal themes: manipulation of men and, above all, betrayed friendship, a theme the director already visited in RIDE THE HIGH COUNTRY, his second film. Burt Young, as always, is excellent. A DVD zone Peckinpah completists only.
