Manuel São Bento 6/10

FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/the-killer-venice-film-festival-review-a-tense-yet-superficial-experience/ "The Killer is unquestionably the simplest, most straightforward movie of David Fincher's career, for better and for worse. On one hand, Michael Fassbender's melancholy narration and magnetic performance, as well as the moody cinematography and throbbing score, contribute to the immersive, tension-driven experience remarkably idealized and executed by the filmmaker. On the other hand, the lack of any emotional layer related to the superficial story and nameless characters, along with a repetitive structure devoid of secondary arcs, gradually alienates viewers from the equally underdeveloped fictional world. A case of admiration more than enjoyment." Rating: B-

Does anyone remember Baz Luhrmann's song "Sunscreen"? Well the narrative mantra provided here by assassin Michael Fassbender reminded me of some of the profundities of that lyric - though not as wittily. The remainder of this film, however, is unlikely to be conjuring up memories anytime soon. His meticulously planned kill takes out a poor, leather-clad, school mistress instead of the intended target and so he has to flee. Now one might assume that such a character would be un-spookable. Well, nope - not this one. He is actually a bit nervous as he takes the long route home to...

The Killer presents a stylish front, intelligent narration and quality performances, backed by compelling cinematography. That said, when you take a step back, its still "just another" hit man flick, leaving far shallower footsteps, than say, Leon: The Professional. Its essentially driven by a very basic story, that's too truncated to add up to anything meaningful, partially compensated for by lashings of action packed, exposition and a degree of quality narrative. In and of itself, its marginally better than many other knock off's but not by as much, as it might think. In summary, offers a little extra polish but...

Raw and ruthless - The Killer by David Fincher is basically a 75% thriller 25% action movie that tells about the daily life of a hired hitman - that makes a mistake on job (this is shown in the first 30 min). Then he and who he cares (a girlfriend in Dominican Republic) will pay the price - but things aren't so easy. It reminded me very much the ecstasy of seeing the fist movie incarnation of 007 by Daniel Craig raw violence and not a snobby agent on a suit. He won't let those whom did he things go...

A tad bit underwhelming follows an assassin who botched a job and how he goes about it he's very clever and sly Fassbender does really good

The Killer, adapted from a French graphic novel series, presents a methodical narrative divided into chapters that help guide the viewer through the assassin’s cold and calculated world. Michael Fassbender delivers a compelling performance, embodying a professional killer who lives by strict rules, though the film’s slow start and anti-climactic ending may leave some viewers unsatisfied. Despite its underwhelming finale, the film maintains solid storytelling and remains a worthwhile watch for fans of cerebral thrillers. Read the full review here: (Indonesian version : alunauwie.com)
