The Killer

​"The Killer"

Watched English movie "The Killer". 

This film is directed by David Fincher. Screenplay by Andrew Kevin Walker . Produced by William Doyal. Cinematography by Eric Messerschmidt. The film stars Michael Fassbender, Tulsa Swinton, Charles Parnell, Sala Baker, Kerry O’Malley, Arliss Howard. The film runs for about 2 hours and was released in 2023. I watched it on Netflix on 18th Nov 2023. 

A killer misses his target and fails to kill the target. There is no excuse for such a mistake. There’s an attack on his girlfriend. He survives because he is delayed. He decided to hit back. 

It’s a revenge movie but he doesn’t go through till the end. Why? It’s about a killer, an assassin, guns, weapons and killings. With all this paraphernalia, the story is expected to have a break neck speed. If not, at least fast pace. Alas! That’s not to be. The movie is slow, very slow.

What was the director trying to convey? A pure revenge movie? It’s not. Because revenge is not complete. If it was about being professional and not taking things personally, it’s not that either.

Positives: None.

Negatives: Confused director and audience.

AVOID.
