David Fincher's latest action opus stars Michael Fassbender as a contract killer in an old-school action movie that pulls no punches.
If you grew up a ’90s bro, as I did, you’ve been looking forward to David Fincher’s “The Killer” ever since Netflix posted the trailer. “The Killer” makes a return to Fincher’s cinematic roots, reuniting him with “Seven” screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker and featuring an endless number of quotable, “Fight Club”-esque bro koans throughout the main character’s narration. Also: lots of people die horribly in it. This is the kind of movie that I pretend I’ve grown out of, but very much have not.
The good guy finally getting his hands on the gun.- Blood from the deciding gunshot spattering all over the toilet. Just typing all that made me want to go wrestle a grizzly bear. This is flawless action choreography, all packed into a tidy, coherent four minutes. You have seen fight scenes with these elements before, almost certainly in some cookie-cutter Marvel movie.
