Mike Locke, who works for a private security firm affiliated with the C.I.A., is betrayed by his partner and left apparently crippled for life.
Mike Locken is one of the principal members of a group of freelance spies. A significant portion of their work is for the C.I.A. and while on a case for them, one of his friends turns on him and shoots him in the elbow and knee. His assignment, to protect someone, goes down in flames. He is nearly crippled, but with braces is able to again become mobile. For revenge as much as anything else, Mike goes after his ex-friend.
As with many lesser Peckinpah films, scenes and images from the killer elite will haunt one for some time - which only makes the film as a whole all the more disappointing.
After trashing himself in Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia, which was really a small budget independent feature, Peckinpah clearly took on the Killer elite project as a means of getting back to being "a good whore" for Hollywood producers (as he remarked in an interview at the time). Unfortunately, Peckinpah had never been a "good whore" for Hollywood, nobody in Hollywood ever thought he was, and none of his potential audiences ever expected him to be. So that makes the Killer elite even more frustrating to watch, because we know he's trying to give us a film he thinks we want, when in fact we don't want it.
The giveaway to all this is the embarrassing inclusion of Chinese martial arts sequence. That might have looked good as 'high concept' to some studio hack - "the Wild Bunch guy does kung fu". But Peckinpah has no interest in it, and can't think of a clever way to portray it on film.
Caan and Duvall (more high concept, they are here getting paired off as in the Godfather of 2 years previous) look as though they are still waiting to read the script before the movie starts, only to discover that the movie has already started. The rest of the cast look as though they're making a TV show, and pause occasionally for a commercial that never plays. The editing is a mess, the plot is banal B-movie material.
Peckinpah's next attempted Hollywood prostitution would be the utterly disastrous Convoy. Why? I don't think even Peckinpah could ever answer that adequately.
There seems to be no point to the story of this fictional division of the CIA, supposedly meant to crack open plots against the United States and other allies. The film starts off promising with two of the agents (James Caan and Robert Duvall) going about their daily routines until Duvall begins to tease Caan about his latest sexual conquest over the fact that she might be diseased. Then, when they go on duty, Duvall suddenly kills the man they are guarding (veteran actor Helmut Dantine) and shoots Caan violently simply to "retire" him. The film then has an interesting sequence showing Caan's recovery, but goes down hill from there as Caan gets involved with a Japanese version of the same agency while he tracks Duvall down for revenge. Predictably, there are traitors among his colleagues, and after lots of violence and encounters with the most unpleasant characters, the film reaches its wimpy conclusion. Caan and Duvall, both hot after "The Godfather", seemed logical choices for re-teaming, but the gratuitous violence and ugliness of the story makes this a weak follow-up. The power of "The Godfather" was its romantic, almost operatic like tragedy, but this is simply nothing but a disturbing view of how films had turned to sordidness by the mid 1970's. Director Sam Peckinpah, whose films are over-run with violence, needed a script with more story and less nastiness.
