Jason Statham's 'Killer Elite' Cast: 'It Doesn't Get Any Better'

Pretty much any time we see Jason Statham in anything, we know he'll be some sort of likable bad-ass and will kick the crap out of some people in doing so. This week's "Killer Elite" is no exception, and even better than Statham lighting up the screen solo, he's joined by serious A-listers Robert De Niro and Clive Owen. MTV News caught up with the man of action recently to discuss how his Oscar winning and Oscar nominated co-stars raised the bar on set. "Its like boxing with Muhammad Ali, its like winning a Formula One race," Statham said of working with De Niro. "Its the top of the mountain, it doesnt get any better." The seasoned action pro went on to say that his intense fight sequences with Owen - specifically the heated battle at the center of the film - proved to be some of the most enjoyable he's ever done. "[Our fight scenes] are only that good because of the intensity of Clive. Theres so much at stake. He plays the spy character to a degree that you never could - most of the people I have fight sequences with are stuntmen who can barely string a sentence together sometimes," he joked. "This is an A-list Academy nominated actor that is coming up toe-to-toe. Hes a big guy, hes ferociously intense. We wanted it to feel real. We didnt want some overly choreographed routine," he explained. "We wanted to be like two guys, one guy trying to get out of this confined space, the other trying to kill him." "It went really well," Statham continued. "Its the first time I have had somebody of that caliber to be able to do two, three, four days of beating the crap out of each other. Its a great scene because no one wins, there isnt a victory to be had. Its just a real clashing of missiles." And who doesn't want to see two missiles, in the form of Statham and Owen, clashing?
