Got a lukewarm recommend from Drinker. He took the 50/50 stance on it and pointed out it subverted tropes of the genre.

Subverting tropes just isn't enough to get me to check it out based on the rest of the criticism the movie received. But if you have nothing to watch, you can subvert expectations with this one.

Probably better off finding this on cable and watching it. Same name. Incredible movie.

The Killer

Mob assassin Jeffrey is no ordinary hired gun; the best in his business, he views his chosen profession as a calling rather than simply a job. So, when beautiful nightclub chanteuse Jennie is blinded in the crossfire of his most recent hit, Jeffrey chooses to retire after one last job to pay for...

If you like procedural-type thrillers (Blue Ruin/Green Room, No Country For Old Men, Sicario, Season 1 of Dexter, other Fincher movies) for the procedural/suspense elements specifically, you will enjoy this immensely. Beautifully shot with an amazing Michael Fassbender--was exactly what I was hoping for.

If you like all the above movies I listed because of the complex plots or deep emotions they left you feeling by the end and are expecting the same here, you will probably enjoy this less.

It's not quite in the top half of Fincher's filmography, but when you look at his filmography it's just stupidly good movies top to bottom, so still a solid 8/10 for me.

Boring. Pointless. Tedious. Monotonous. Actually all of that and AWFUL too.

World's greatest hitman/he is "no one" and he is actually really bad at his job. Really REALLY bad... But not worse at his job than the director/writer of this film.

What a complete waste of film, frequent flier miles, destinations, The Smith's music (which seems to be showing up in a LOT of movies these days).

This movie was SHE-ITE!
