When super-assassin Joe Flood (Bautista) discovers he's terminally ill, he orders a hit on himself. But just before the contract begins, he learns he's not actually dying and must now fight off all the assassins trying to kill him in this fun action movie that knows exactly how to entertain.
Dave Bautista may be the best wrestler-turned-actor working today. As much as we love when he takes on more serious roles like in Dune, Blade Runner 2049, and Knock at the Cabin, he shines whenever he’s going full action-comedy. He’s excelled in films like Stuber and the My Spy movies and is back for more in. When super-assassin Joe Flood finds out he is terminally ill, he orders a hit on himself.
J. J. Perry directs this film. He’s a stuntman-turned-director whose first film was the Netflix vampire action-comedy Day Shift. This film feels along the same vein, where it’s completely unserious. The opening action sequence in The Killer’s Game is a bit small and underwhelming, but from there, Joe meets a dancer named Maize, played by Sofia Boutella.
There’s a funny idea that also feels similar to John Wick, where the characters have an app for killing similar to Uber. The Killer’s Game is also the king of character intros. We have many distinct killers who all have their own flavors. The way Perry introduces each of them, from how they kill people to the way their names appear on screen, is absolute gold.
This movie works best when it’s pure chaos, throwing ludicrous action at the wall and seeing what sticks. We have a conveyor belt of killers, some split-screen fun, and even Scott Adkins, who is a welcome addition to every action movie he appears in. The movie works less in its predictability. The action scenes can feel tensionless because it’s non-stop insanity with an indestructible hero with no weaknesses.
