The Killer (2023)

Well, what a brutal and utter letdown this was for Fincher’s latest opus and that is a sheer understatement. Being an admirer of his groundbreaking, thought-provoking storytelling and strong visual sense since I first saw Se7en in the theater back in ‘95. Then came The Game, Fight Club, Zodiac, The Social Network, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo remake, Gone Girl and then this…The Killer. On the acting front, Fassbender’s deliberately impassive, emotionless performance and monotonous monologue can’t save the viewer from falling into a sleep-induced trance. The only redeeming factor this movie has going for it is that Last Supper scene between Swinton and Fassbender. Apart from that, it’s slow, tedious and lackluster.
