BLOOD CREEK [2009]

I have to give it to director Joel Schumacher for constantly exploring different genres and styles.
In Blood Creek, Schumacher goes all out with the gore and an unusual amount of animal cruelty.  
While the film isn't necessarily very good, it certainly is unpredictable.
I went in expecting pure shit and came out mildly amused and entertained.

KILLER ELITE [2011]

When I first saw that Jason Statham and Clive Owen had done a film together I dookied in my pants a little...seeing that DeNiro was in it as well confirmed that dookie.
It's violent, filled with plot holes, it's violent, filled with magically healing wounds, it's violent, not particularly original and it's violent.
I loved it.
Seeing Statham and Owen duke it out something fierce, definitely takes the cake from Fast Five's Vin Diesel and Rock as 2011's ultimate showdown. DeNiro gets into the action himself which is an absolute squeal-worthy delight.
It's unpredictable enough to keep you entertained till the end and the enticing performances hold your interest during the non-action scenes. If you're an action-buff who likes to see it done right, then this is it served to you on a silver platter.
