Like the main character, The Killer and David Fincher unfurl a mercilessness honed of precision that is as impressive as it is disturbing. It is a movie that stalks its prey and you. Read more

Despite that bleakness, The Killer is a surprisingly humorous movie from a director not exactly known for making laugh riots. Read more

Although David Fincher’s The Killer is not likely to be one of his most iconic efforts due to the generic nature of the premises, it is a thrilling piece of filmmaking that emphasizes that Fincher has his finger on the pulse and that he is still one of the world’s finest filmmakers. Read more

Recalling not only American Psycho, but also his own Fight Club and Anton Corbijn’s assassin creed The American, The Killer succeeds both as a surface-level thriller, and as a deeper illustration of another empty era. Read more

The Killer is technisch gezien een goed gemaakte film die zo aan je voorbijgaat zonder iets met je te doen. De film voelt afstandelijk aan, misschien opzettelijk om de kijker in de schoenen van een huurmoordenaar te plaatsen, maar zonder emotionele betrokkenheid blijven de kogels onopgemerkt aan je voorbijvliegen.

Michael Fassbender die de rol van secure & anale huurmoordenaar tot in de puntjes uitwerkt, maar ook de cinematografie & vorm zijn om van te smullen, maar tarten daarom niet de grondvesten van Fincher’s euvre. Ook laat het scenario in onze ogen wat te wensen over... Read more
