Review: The Killer

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 12:00:24 GMT

TV loves doctors and lawyers; movies love professional killers. Just ask Jean-Pierre Melville. Or better yet, ask David Fincher, whose new movie, The Killer, is a sleek distillation of hitman clichés, smoothed into a relentlessly forward-moving two hours. The Netflix original kicked off the grand reopening of the Egyptian Theatre, Hollywood’s 101-year-old movie palace that had been recently purchased and beautifully restored by the streaming giant. It is now available on the platform and a few select theaters.Based on a series of French comic books by illustrator Luc Jacamon and writer Alexis “Matz” Nolent, The Killer stars Michael Fassbender as a high-end assassin whose sardonic, repetitious interior narration provides a pipeline into his cynical thought life. The nameless protagonist, whose fake identities are named after TV characters (Felix Unger, Sam Malone, George Jefferson), is introduced on an abandoned floor of a Paris building listening to the Smiths as he waits for his ta...
