I love how anti-glamourous this movie is. And it shows how even the profession of an assassin for hire can be as mundane and boring as shit as any other job. Until it s not. No one whacks 50 guys in a club in one go, no big explosion at the end, no mega car chases. Just a sociopath doing his job. Definitely a sleeper cult film. I m calling it right now.
The Equalizer 3 too, no big action, Denzel kill everyone like he was Death itself, a shadow. The Perfect Assassin. And The Killer the real thing, a job of pure estrategy, the desguise, passports, clone a card... damn. We hace 2 Hitman movies and EITHER HACE ANYTHING OF THAT! Only a bald guy in a suit who is called Agent 47😂
This movie had some unexpectedly hilarious moments too in the small details, like his inner monologue being cut off by something completely unexpected, and my personal favourite: During the fight scene in the Florida house he tries to pull a knife out of a drawer but instead finds himself wielding a zester unexpectedly. He then stares almost offended at it, and that killed me. Great film!
When I saw the grater, I was like, "this about to get really fucking gruesome." Then when he chucks it I straight up laughed out loud. Fuckin Fincher man.
Someone being interrupted while thinking to themselves is as cliche as it gets in a film. Kind of like the cliche of a hitman saying you’ve got to stick to a system, then proceeds to not stick to his system. 🙄
One of my favorite details about the character I haven’t heard ALOT of people talk about: although the killer always appears calm and collected. His heartbeat monitor on his watch showed his heart rate as pounding but he always appears calm and relaxed! Was a cool way to show that even though he has killed hundreds of people he still got excited or. Nervous
Michael Fassbender has been wasted in a lot of movies in the past few years. Happy to see him in a return to form of a performance. This is easily his best since 2015's Steve Jobs.
Michael Fassbender really does have the unfortunate distinction of being the most talented actor in the worst era of Hollywood. If he'd come on the scene a decade earlier he'd be a legend by now.
@@martin..3700well I think it’s same as everything else, it’s subjective. It’s not a bad thing to say he is the most or not. There are many actors you could consider the most talented and someone would say they aren’t
He kind of is a legend? He was fantastic in First Class and Future Past. He was incredible in Shame…Steve Jobs. I haven’t seen Hunger but that seems to be also great. And now he’s the lead in a Fincher film. He is really well respected and besides a few duds has consistently put out some astonishing performances and films.
The Killer is one of my favorite movies recently! It's a character study of someone who desperately wants to delude themselves that they're this infallible calculated killer purely dedicated to the job, only to find out he's just emotional and flawed as 'the many'. His internal monologue that he keeps repeating to himself slowly turned into hypocrisy. His confidence with certain actions backfired right in front of his eyes. The 'action scene' that usually comes from these types of movies started all because he was caught off guard (not to mention he didn't even completely put the dog to sleep). The supposed big-bad of the movie (the client) turned out to be someone who didn't even know who he was or what happened to him. The only time he actually did something without a hitch or contradiction was him emotionally killing an innocent driver who was the most detached from the whole situation. It's both a character study and a deconstruction of the hitman-movie type that expects a huge climax/confrontation of the main bad guy followed by pure satisfaction for the protagonist.
He talked the talk but didn't walk the walk. We never saw him succeed, he fucked up at every turn. Really made it impossible to root for the guy. Why not build him up and show him do it right before the fall. Made for a not very engaging film. I just tought he was full of shit in his monologue. And story otherwise was pretty by the book. I get what they tried to do, the components just didn't come together for an engaging film.
Well said bro the amount of times his tryhard monologues get interrupted later in the film just feels hilarious and self-aware of itself of how not in control this duffus is at his job 😂
This movie had one of the best fight scenes I've ever seen. I'm not sure if the build up to it was so slow and methodical that it just felt that much more intense, but I was totally blown away by it.
I usually don't care about fight scenes, if my husband isn't watching with me I skip them, but this one was on another level, it felt so real, like you could feel the guy's strength and weight through the screen
The fight scene in the house is one of the best scenes of the entire year. The way it contrasts the killer trying to maintain control with the huge burst of violence is so good
I’m in my mid50s and have seen a lot of movies. I have been growing increasingly disappointed in the lack of originality and substance with many mainstream films. Bells and whistle special effects are increasingly thought to be enough. This movie had my attention throughout and it had me thinking afterwards. I found myself experiencing a lot of emotions as well. And yet, it was a slow burn by today’s standard. I thought it a great film for these reasons. From where I sit, your insights are spot on.
Zodiac is my favorite Fincher movie, it’s one of my favorite movies ever. It’s shot so well, the acting is top notch. It’s told in such a riveting and compelling way. The funny thing is when I first saw it I was disappointed because I’m a big fan of true crime and I was hoping he’d include more suspects than just Marshall and Allen, but then I realized the movie wasn’t really about analyzing suspects and I recalibrated my expectations and it became one of my favorite movies.
The Killer may not be as complex as Fincher's most popular films - it's pretty straightforward, similar to Panic Room - but it still is an enjoyable ride, mostly because of Fassbender's excellent performance and David Fincher's impeccable direction.
I think that’s why it didn’t hit for me at first.. it’s so straight forward compared to other Fincher works and the comic book is much more fleshed out.
As a massive fan of “The Smiths” I loved how every song in the movie was “The Smiths” Songs! Except a single song by “Portishead” which is another of my favorites
After watching The Killer then Next Goal Wins, you really see how much range Michael Fassbender has, like you almost forget he’s the same actor the characters are so different
I love that throughout the movie from the first scene his constantly questioning if he can still do this and if he has what it takes. It’s a story of a man trying to convince himself of who he is. That’s how I see it
Fassbender’s one of those actors that isn’t talked about enough. He subtly dropped one of the best performances of a supervillain ever and then does this. He’s captivating in everything he’s in. If you love Fassbender, its a great reason to watch it
My favourite film of Finchers is The Social Network, but I also love Fight Club and Seven. However, my favourite of all of his work is actually the 2 seasons he directed of Mindhunter on Netflix
Physical media is GROWING - not dying At its peak- DVD sales were 16K per year. Sales flagged when streaming started... During the pandemic it went back up to 16K Last year it was at 22K. The first 5 months of this year did 13K.
DVD sales? People are still buying DVDs? Or did you mean BluRay? I have no clue, haven't had a disc drive in my desktop pc since at least 10 years. Aren't DVDs limited to 720p? I cannot imagine anyone in 2023 would want to watch anything in sub 1080p resolution.
Michael Fassbender has been one of my favorite actors for a long time and this role hopefully helps more people realize how talented he is. Pun fully intended "he killed it"
Michael Fassbender brings so much gravitas to any role he plays. Its sad that he isn't cast in more high profile roles, and that he took such a long hiatus from the limelight, when he could have capitalized on that charisma. He is a prime example of how, having the misfortune of being in a string of flops, can ruin a promising career.
After his performances in '12 Years a Slave,' 'Hunger' and 'Shame,' he has nothing left to prove. Only an actor of Fassbender's calibre can take 4 years off to follow his driving passions and then come back to immediately work with the likes of Fincher and Taika again when he just feels like it. Lol.
He said in 2016 that he wanted to take a break from acting, since then he started racing, got married and had a kid. So I think he was more concerned with things outside of making films.
I loved it. Reminds me of movies from the 70s. Watched it without checking my phone. That's the biggest compliment I can give to any media in recent years. 🤓
I bought The Killer graphic novel at Powell's in Portland when I was there this past summer and read it in anticipation of the movie coming out. it had a short run at the Drafthouse Theater but before I got there, it came out on Netflix. Fantastically true to the source material, but not burdensomely so. The soundtrack featuring The Smiths was a great touch. Fassbender's character makes a couple of miscalculations but he's so methodical and professional. What was really great was his character arc after he laid out his principles in the beginning and then through the movie had to compromise on so many of them in order to find his humanity.
It was awesome. Felt like the most realistic hitman movie that could be made. How he was using google maps and amazon, misses the very first shot he takes. Fassbender and Swinton scenes was great and the kill of his contractor and fight with the Florida dude were cool as hell.
@@edelmantoamendola A few examples of hitman movies containing similar levels of realism as The Killer (2023): • Murder By Contract • Le Samouraï • The Day of the Jackal • Munich Not saying the listed films above are more realistic than The Killer, but on a similar level of realism; just a different flavor of realism, from a different time, a different place, with different targets, different killers, different styles of cinematography, all different factors equally valid in achieving the feeling of nearing or touching realism. All of these movies are cold and subtle, showing the mundaneness of life, with human flaws and unpredictable details of reality present, along with nervous tension from us as the audience knowing the danger, which is awkwardly yet realistically contrasted by the uneventfulness of the moments up to THE moment, sometimes followed after a calculated murder by that exact same uneventful silence, as though nothing is different in the room as a moment before, which we know that thought to be anything but true. Lots of downtime, the attempted concealing of one's human emotions replaced by sharp focus to be a more steeled and mentally/spiritually prepared assassin, unceremonious violence of unpredictable timing, etc. Thinking this is the most realistic hitman movie of all time, unparalleled in realism by any hitman movie of any decade in the past 100 years is wild.
You mentioned a lot about the sound. I watched this with headphones on and when The Killer puts in just the right earbud and we see from his perspective the music was only in the right ear speaker. Amazing attention to detail as always from this director. Bravo!
@@jackelrikuroso3945 eh idk I feel the Equalizer is still amazing but The Killer definitely captured the core essence of what a Hitman adaptation could be. Especially when it has elements like blending in, inner monologues of what someone like him is thinking, precise work, etc
I love Equalizer movies but this was different good if not better 🎉 There's just something about this movie don't know how to say it but Equalizer movies are predictable! like you know what the movie is gonna be about like there are no strange twists or anything and The killer is also the same but not the same at the same time 😂 That's the best I can do here lol
The song when he flees on the bike in the beginning just shows how incredible Trent and Atticus are scoring a movie. Any other composer would have some garbage chase/escape music. This song was haunting and it's burned into my mind.
I loved this movie. It seemed like David Fincher going back to his roots. I thought it was a great character study mixed with a nice dose of the ole ultra violence. I will definitely be watching it again. The performance’s were top notch.
This movie was okay: 1) intro monologue is mind numbingly long. 2) an assassin with a home life is beyond stupid. See: Robert de niros character in Heat. 3) a billionaire businessman does not eat alone. He does not answer his door.
Excellent and very fair review. Fassbender is a terrific actor, I've never seen him give a bad performance...even if the movie he's in isn't great it's generally worth watching just for him...fortunately this was a good one (in no small part because as you say, it's all about Fassbender...his character/portrayal and every other character is secondary). Not my favourite Fincher movie, that would probably be "The Social Network" but still a goodie ! I know it was a "throw-away comment" but don't dis the Blu-rays ! ;-) a lot of Blu-rays (especially the more modern releases and those that have been remastered in 4K by boutique labels) look almost as good as the actual 4K with decent upscaling equipment and in some cases are better than the 4K version if the 4K transfer wasn't handled so well (some releases over use the DNR and/or change the colour timing etc.). I hope this one gets a physical release as well !
Great to see David Fincher make another movie. This one sounds worth a watch as a great movie shouldn't always have to rely on heavy doses of action throughout. A slowburn makes for a fun change of pace.
I've really lost my patience for films that subvert your expectations but this film turning out to be a comedy about a bumbling robot was one of the best surprises of the year.
Probably my favorite film of the year. Actually, it is. Yep. All in on Fassbender in anything, but this was tops. Finchers idea that this movie should make you uneasy with the guy behind you at Home Depot. And it brought me the graphic novel, which is beautifully illustrated. Highly recommend it. Brilliant, and I’m buying it ASAP. 🎵I go about things the wrong way…🎵
1) The Social Network 2) Seven 3) Gone Girl 4) Zodiac 5) The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo 6) The Curious Case… 7) Fight Club 8) The Game 9) Panic Room 10) Mank 11) Alien3 Haven't seen The Killer yet.
The closest thing we'll ever get to a film about Agent 47. I fricking love this film! Tho I agree that there's something missing with the ending. And I wish more films tackled the idea of having a character with an interesting first-person monologue. Honestly think that characters like Frank Castle and Max Payne (obvious if you know the source material for both of these characters) are best depicted with their inner thought processes as part of the ride.
Nah an Agent 47 adaption should be a TV show with a mostly internal monologue.. “For a job like this? You’re gonna need a Silenced Colt.45 and Rubber Ducky” cross between Barry and The Killer
There are also some people who can't visualize things in their head. They can think of the description of a tree, but they can't actually picture the tree in their head. That blew my mind when I first heard about that

Loved it! Fincher is a storytelling hero of mine and my top three favourite movies were written by Andrew Kevin Walker: Seven, Sleepy Hollow and of course 8MM. What a bold choice to make the movie the way they did. It deserves all the admiration.
Yeah my daughter doesn't have an inner monologue. She has something called Aphantasia, and so does Penn from Penn & Teller. It's super rare, and basically, it means the person cannot imagine anything in their head or have an inner monologue. I know, I was blown away when the doctor told me about it. Nice review btw Jeremy!
I spoke with a colleague of work about this movie, and he told me this is the perfect HITMAN adaptation, and I gotta agree. By the way, Michael Fassbender was on a long break due to his focus on racing, he took part on the 24 hs of Le Mans
I just realized I've been watching this yt channel for a few years and never subscribed. Whoops... I fixed that though today! Thank you for all the great videos Jeremy!!!

I loved it. Yes, it´s slow. Yes it´s anticlimatic. But this is to John Wick what Drive is to the Fast & Furious films. Really great.
Spoiler: When you say anticlimactic, do you mean because he didn't kill the guy at the end? I thought it was great. It was perfectly explained by the killer before that scene. That the guy was just to high value of a target to not bring allot of trouble if he killed him. And once he realized the guy wasn't this disgruntled millionaire who wanted to kill the guy who "screwed up", but just a guy who wanted to cover his ass and didn't really know what all that entailed, the killer no longer saw him as a continuous threat and the people who were to blame he had already killed. So not worth the amount of trouble that would follow killing him. I thought it was great, that made the killer look smart and not just this killing machine that killed without thought.

@@NikstSWE You are probably right but, I mean, he had killed everyone before that, even the poor cab driver, and when he got to the big boss.... nothing? But I still love the film, one of my favorites of the year.
@ But that was the thing, turned out he really wasn't the big boss. He was just a client that asked for the "insurance" of no blowback without really thinking about what it meant. I really loved the movie as well. One of those I kept thinking about after it was over and it grew even more on me.

Love your videos! Shame you're recommending the Fleet Command game, it's addictive enough to need to be weaned off of. Advancement happens so slowly that you need to address it extremely often to progress (progression can take months), unless you pay out of pocket to speed up the time it takes to build. This results in training you to look at it way too much to keep you engaged. To anyone who hasn't played it but intends to: please don't. For your own sake!
Actually just finished it. And I have nothing to add. Nice change of pace with the slow burn, still held my interest for the whole time and the ending was interesting. Solid 8/10.
Its really bizzare that Michael Fassbender has never been in a David Fincher movie before this. Hes one of those actors that just feels natural for his style, like hes done this 100 times.
David Fincher's cinematographer Erik Messerschmidt said a similar thing, he said that they worked perfectly together and had almost the same feelings and ideas about the film.
@@cptpepper7731 you’re saying nothing man… this happens with any film with mixed reception. It’s like saying “the abundance of the word masterpiece is tiring” some use these terms liberally, some use it because it’s genuinely applicable. Instead you make smartass comments to people being genuine, making yourself look like a clown.
I thought The Killer was very very good. However, since you asked to rank David Fincher's films.. here ya go (IMHO): 1: Curious Case of Benjamin Button 2: Seven: 3: Fight Club 4: Gone Girl 5: The Game 6: Alien 3 7: The Social Network 8: The Killer 9: Zodiac 10: Panic Room 11: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo This order can change for me depending on the day but here it is on this day. I haven't watched Mank yet but its on my list. LOVE Fincher's films.
Micheal Fassbender is such an incredible actor, and this just reminds me why, his narration and monolgues here are just top notch. as for my rankings: 1) Social Network 2) Fight Club 3) Zodiac 4) Se7en 5) Gone Girl 6) The Game 7) Girl with the Dragon Tattoo 8) Panic Room This movie would probably be between Gone Girl and Se7en for me, I quite enjoyed it Edit: 9) Alien 3 forgot to add Alien 3 haha, always forget its a Fincher film, but yea man so much wasted potential on that one, the setting seemed like if Fincher had more creative control it could have turned out really great.
I didn't like Zodiac that much. Probably because I knew how it ends before I saw it. I know that's not the point, but still.. I would rate Se7en much higher. I do agree that Panic Room is the weakest. Or maybe Alien 3 not sure
ah thanks for reminding me@@LuisSierra42 , totally forget about them. I haven't seen Mank as I wasn't really interested, and Alien 3 I just forgot to add to my list, updated it now but would be around the same level or below Panic Room
My rankings for the movies I've seen yet. 1. Mindhunter (Not a movie but i love it more) 1. The girl with the dragon tattoo 2. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 3. Seven 4. Zodiac 5. Fight Club 6. Gone Girl 7. Social Network Haven't watched Killer, and a few others.
The Band you here throughout the movie is called “The Smiths” and the ambient noises you here throughout the movie are done by Trent Reznor and my fav fincher movie is of course “Fight Club”
First time I've disagreed with you. The first 30 minutes was so boring and the payoff wasn't worth it. Maybe you just have to have certain mindset when you watch it.
Great review! You have good energy! I also liked the movie... especially the beginning and that fight scene. When the cutip almost ordered the ice cream, I thought that was a code for military back up. Nope. She was simply killed. It all went downhill from there, in my humble opinion. Still, I give it a lot of points especially since I was born in Florida and raised in the DR and in Chicago. They filmed in all my favorite places!
The thing I like most about this movie is "the killer" constantly talking to us and telling us his rules. And yet at every single turn he breaks every rule. I can see people finding this boring, but I found it enjoyable.
I want to be legend to so I'll rank the David Fincher films 1. Fight Club 2. Seven 3. Gone Girl 4. Zodiac 5. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo 6. The Killer 7. Panic Room 8. Benjamin Button 9. The Game 10. Alien 3 11. Social Network (can someone please tell why this one is consider his best)

Lol and then wait another 30 minutes for more action. Lol this movie wasn’t great just because the producers are great producers.

@@chrisszyyy nah, the slam was straight out of Chandler vs Oliveira
The fight scene in the house is one of the best scenes of the entire year. The way it contrasts the killer trying to maintain control with the huge burst of violence is so good
Not to mention, it was pretty slapstick, but in a good way
There was a fight scene? He entered a house and the screen went black. 🤷🏻
@@citizenoftheninthdivisionohh great. I love watching silhouettes fight one another
I’m in my mid50s and have seen a lot of movies. I have been growing increasingly disappointed in the lack of originality and substance with many mainstream films. Bells and whistle special effects are increasingly thought to be enough. This movie had my attention throughout and it had me thinking afterwards. I found myself experiencing a lot of emotions as well. And yet, it was a slow burn by today’s standard. I thought it a great film for these reasons. From where I sit, your insights are spot on.
Zodiac is my favorite Fincher movie, it’s one of my favorite movies ever. It’s shot so well, the acting is top notch. It’s told in such a riveting and compelling way. The funny thing is when I first saw it I was disappointed because I’m a big fan of true crime and I was hoping he’d include more suspects than just Marshall and Allen, but then I realized the movie wasn’t really about analyzing suspects and I recalibrated my expectations and it became one of my favorite movies.
The Killer may not be as complex as Fincher's most popular films - it's pretty straightforward, similar to Panic Room - but it still is an enjoyable ride, mostly because of Fassbender's excellent performance and David Fincher's impeccable direction.
I think that’s why it didn’t hit for me at first.. it’s so straight forward compared to other Fincher works and the comic book is much more fleshed out.
@@firstlast9846 Panic Room is also pretty straight forward
ya that fight scenes sound design was so damn cool. wish i watched it in a theatre! Loved the Killer
As a massive fan of “The Smiths” I loved how every song in the movie was “The Smiths”
Songs! Except a single song by “Portishead” which is another of my favorites
After watching The Killer then Next Goal Wins, you really see how much range Michael Fassbender has, like you almost forget he’s the same actor the characters are so different
Agreed, great range between roles
I honestly totally forgot he was in Next Goal Wins and it caught me so off guard
That fight with that big guy was absolutely brutal, this was the Hitman movie we deserved.
Hear! Hear!
I love that throughout the movie from the first scene his constantly questioning if he can still do this and if he has what it takes. It’s a story of a man trying to convince himself of who he is. That’s how I see it
I could see the first segment of the movie scaring a lot of people away. It's plodding in such a clever way, and the payoff is unexpectedly funny.
Michael Fassbender is one of the GOATs. Mesmerizing from beginning to end.
Fassbender’s one of those actors that isn’t talked about enough. He subtly dropped one of the best performances of a supervillain ever and then does this. He’s captivating in everything he’s in. If you love Fassbender, its a great reason to watch it
My favourite film of Finchers is The Social Network, but I also love Fight Club and Seven. However, my favourite of all of his work is actually the 2 seasons he directed of Mindhunter on Netflix
Physical media is GROWING - not dying
At its peak- DVD sales were 16K per year. Sales flagged when streaming started...
During the pandemic it went back up to 16K
Last year it was at 22K.
The first 5 months of this year did 13K.
I think he's likely referencing that Best Buy just announced they were permanently stopping physical media sales by the start of next year.
DVD sales? People are still buying DVDs? Or did you mean BluRay? I have no clue, haven't had a disc drive in my desktop pc since at least 10 years. Aren't DVDs limited to 720p? I cannot imagine anyone in 2023 would want to watch anything in sub 1080p resolution.
16 k per year at it's peak? It were billions of dvds per year at its peak.
@@stonaraptor8196 Only nerds go that nuts over little details, DVDs are still good.
Michael Fassbender has been one of my favorite actors for a long time and this role hopefully helps more people realize how talented he is. Pun fully intended "he killed it"
David Finchers Love Death and Robots episode Bad Traveling was very enthralling and definitely a new take on his filmmaking style and storytelling.
Bad travelling deserves a love death and robots sequel or a live action show.
In 2016 he said that he was going to take a break from acting. Since then he has gotten married, had a kid, started racing and an acting school.
Michael Fassbender deserves a much better career. When he even turns in great performances in subpar X-Men movies you know the guy's a great actor.
True, a lot actors can give good performances in great movies, but not all of them can give good perfomances in bad movies.
Michael Fassbender brings so much gravitas to any role he plays. Its sad that he isn't cast in more high profile roles, and that he took such a long hiatus from the limelight, when he could have capitalized on that charisma. He is a prime example of how, having the misfortune of being in a string of flops, can ruin a promising career.
After his performances in '12 Years a Slave,' 'Hunger' and 'Shame,' he has nothing left to prove. Only an actor of Fassbender's calibre can take 4 years off to follow his driving passions and then come back to immediately work with the likes of Fincher and Taika again when he just feels like it. Lol.
He said in 2016 that he wanted to take a break from acting, since then he started racing, got married and had a kid. So I think he was more concerned with things outside of making films.
Zodiac without a second thought! It’s gripping, soaringly intense, based on true events and great lead performances from Ruffalo, Gyllenhaal, RDJ
Then what’s next? Se7en or Fight Club?
The social Network 1 for me
A review of yours from NINE YEARS AGO was listed under this one and wow. The growth. You’ve morphed into a monster 🔥
I loved it. Reminds me of movies from the 70s.
Watched it without checking my phone. That's the biggest compliment I can give to any media in recent years. 🤓
I bought The Killer graphic novel at Powell's in Portland when I was there this past summer and read it in anticipation of the movie coming out. it had a short run at the Drafthouse Theater but before I got there, it came out on Netflix. Fantastically true to the source material, but not burdensomely so. The soundtrack featuring The Smiths was a great touch. Fassbender's character makes a couple of miscalculations but he's so methodical and professional. What was really great was his character arc after he laid out his principles in the beginning and then through the movie had to compromise on so many of them in order to find his humanity.
It was awesome. Felt like the most realistic hitman movie that could be made. How he was using google maps and amazon, misses the very first shot he takes. Fassbender and Swinton scenes was great and the kill of his contractor and fight with the Florida dude were cool as hell.
I think it was the most realistic depiction of a movie assassin every made.
realistic? Are you serious?
@@stonaraptor8196 lol can you name a more realistic movie about a hitman? All ears.
@@edelmantoamendola
A few examples of hitman movies containing similar levels of realism as The Killer (2023):
• Murder By Contract
• Le Samouraï
• The Day of the Jackal
• Munich
Not saying the listed films above are more realistic than The Killer, but on a similar level of realism; just a different flavor of realism, from a different time, a different place, with different targets, different killers, different styles of cinematography, all different factors equally valid in achieving the feeling of nearing or touching realism.
All of these movies are cold and subtle, showing the mundaneness of life, with human flaws and unpredictable details of reality present, along with nervous tension from us as the audience knowing the danger, which is awkwardly yet realistically contrasted by the uneventfulness of the moments up to THE moment, sometimes followed after a calculated murder by that exact same uneventful silence, as though nothing is different in the room as a moment before, which we know that thought to be anything but true. Lots of downtime, the attempted concealing of one's human emotions replaced by sharp focus to be a more steeled and mentally/spiritually prepared assassin, unceremonious violence of unpredictable timing, etc.
Thinking this is the most realistic hitman movie of all time, unparalleled in realism by any hitman movie of any decade in the past 100 years is wild.
@@edelmantoamendolaNot necessarily more realistic, but Collateral has decent realism too.
You mentioned a lot about the sound. I watched this with headphones on and when The Killer puts in just the right earbud and we see from his perspective the music was only in the right ear speaker. Amazing attention to detail as always from this director. Bravo!
This movie is the closest thing we’ll get to having a PROPER Hitman adaptation. Those 2 Hitman movies we got were garbage
And Equalizer 3, no big action. Denzel is literally an assassin in that movie.
@@jackelrikuroso3945 eh idk I feel the Equalizer is still amazing but The Killer definitely captured the core essence of what a Hitman adaptation could be. Especially when it has elements like blending in, inner monologues of what someone like him is thinking, precise work, etc
I love Equalizer movies but this was different good if not better 🎉 There's just something about this movie don't know how to say it but Equalizer movies are predictable! like you know what the movie is gonna be about like there are no strange twists or anything and The killer is also the same but not the same at the same time 😂 That's the best I can do here lol
@@SAVANTI711the one with Timothy Olyphant
@@SAVANTI711 eh if you were a proper fan then you WOULDNT like that movie. They didn’t capture the elegance of the Hitman games at all
girl with dragon tattoo hands down my fav david fincher movie
The song when he flees on the bike in the beginning just shows how incredible Trent and Atticus are scoring a movie. Any other composer would have some garbage chase/escape music. This song was haunting and it's burned into my mind.
Link?
@@rajyavardhansingh4491 It's called, fuck. Look up the soundtrack
Now this is a review of this movie I can get behind.
Finally someone brought up the sound design, which was impeccable.
I walked out of the theatre feeling pumped. It just hit all the right notes for me. Plus, I love The Smiths.
Shut up , It did not release into the theatres.
I saw it on Halloween at an Alamo Drafthouse theatre before it was released on Netflix. @@Anonymous-px2te
2:19 dude was racing in Le Mans
I wouldn’t call it a Masterpiece but it was good.
No, especially when comparing it to the comic book - it’s not as good - but still enjoyable
I found it extremely boring.
Theres a comic book? Whos it by i'm interested. @@firstlast9846
@@Florensbondsame
Michael Fassbender was also in Next Goal Wins recently which was hilarious and he was amazing in that too
I loved this movie. It seemed like David Fincher going back to his roots. I thought it was a great character study mixed with a nice dose of the ole ultra violence. I will definitely be watching it again. The performance’s were top notch.
Michael Fassbender is quite busy on a Steve McQueen quest; he's well on the way to racing at Le Mans (driving for Porsche Proton and good luck to him)
The fist fight in the house was one of the best hand to hand combat scenes I’ve ever scene
I see what you did there 😉
It really was
@@JayZC96what did he do?
This movie was okay: 1) intro monologue is mind numbingly long. 2) an assassin with a home life is beyond stupid. See: Robert de niros character in Heat. 3) a billionaire businessman does not eat alone. He does not answer his door.
Excellent and very fair review. Fassbender is a terrific actor, I've never seen him give a bad performance...even if the movie he's in isn't great it's generally worth watching just for him...fortunately this was a good one (in no small part because as you say, it's all about Fassbender...his character/portrayal and every other character is secondary). Not my favourite Fincher movie, that would probably be "The Social Network" but still a goodie ! I know it was a "throw-away comment" but don't dis the Blu-rays ! ;-) a lot of Blu-rays (especially the more modern releases and those that have been remastered in 4K by boutique labels) look almost as good as the actual 4K with decent upscaling equipment and in some cases are better than the 4K version if the 4K transfer wasn't handled so well (some releases over use the DNR and/or change the colour timing etc.). I hope this one gets a physical release as well !
Favorite Fincher Film: Se7en. And it's not even close. One of my all time top 5 favorite films.
Not only is SE7EN the best Fincher film, but it's Top 5 best movies ever made bro.
Great to see David Fincher make another movie. This one sounds worth a watch as a great movie shouldn't always have to rely on heavy doses of action throughout. A slowburn makes for a fun change of pace.
I've really lost my patience for films that subvert your expectations but this film turning out to be a comedy about a bumbling robot was one of the best surprises of the year.
Mate wtf
Fincher, Nolan, Scorsese, Scott each release a movie in the same year. What a year for movie fans!
And we almost had Villeneuve as well! But the strike pushed Dune Part 2 into 2024.
Probably my favorite film of the year. Actually, it is. Yep.
All in on Fassbender in anything, but this was tops.
Finchers idea that this movie should make you uneasy with the guy behind you at Home Depot.
And it brought me the graphic novel, which is beautifully illustrated. Highly recommend it.
Brilliant, and I’m buying it ASAP.
🎵I go about things the wrong way…🎵

Haven't seen The Killer yet.
The closest thing we'll ever get to a film about Agent 47. I fricking love this film! Tho I agree that there's something missing with the ending. And I wish more films tackled the idea of having a character with an interesting first-person monologue. Honestly think that characters like Frank Castle and Max Payne (obvious if you know the source material for both of these characters) are best depicted with their inner thought processes as part of the ride.
Did you not love the 2 hitman movies? lol
@@damenb8786 , ah, we don't talk about those.
@@damenb8786let's just say that the last one missed the point. This is what a hitman movie should be like.
Nah an Agent 47 adaption should be a TV show with a mostly internal monologue.. “For a job like this? You’re gonna need a Silenced Colt.45 and Rubber Ducky” cross between Barry and The Killer
@@firstlast9846 but without the comedy and more on the seriousness of the killer.
There are also some people who can't visualize things in their head. They can think of the description of a tree, but they can't actually picture the tree in their head. That blew my mind when I first heard about that

@teolaurich7212 oh, you right,
9th place? It's good movie but I don't think it's better than first 8.
Is it better than The Limits of Control, in terms of pacing?
Loved it! Fincher is a storytelling hero of mine and my top three favourite movies were written by Andrew Kevin Walker: Seven, Sleepy Hollow and of course 8MM. What a bold choice to make the movie the way they did. It deserves all the admiration.
Yeah my daughter doesn't have an inner monologue. She has something called Aphantasia, and so does Penn from Penn & Teller. It's super rare, and basically, it means the person cannot imagine anything in their head or have an inner monologue. I know, I was blown away when the doctor told me about it.
Nice review btw Jeremy!
I spoke with a colleague of work about this movie, and he told me this is the perfect HITMAN adaptation, and I gotta agree.
By the way, Michael Fassbender was on a long break due to his focus on racing, he took part on the 24 hs of Le Mans
He has also gotten married, had a kid and started an acting school
I just realized I've been watching this yt channel for a few years and never subscribed. Whoops... I fixed that though today! Thank you for all the great videos Jeremy!!!
I loved it. Yes, it´s slow. Yes it´s anticlimatic. But this is to John Wick what Drive is to the Fast & Furious films. Really great.
Nice comparison. Well done.
Spoiler: When you say anticlimactic, do you mean because he didn't kill the guy at the end? I thought it was great. It was perfectly explained by the killer before that scene. That the guy was just to high value of a target to not bring allot of trouble if he killed him. And once he realized the guy wasn't this disgruntled millionaire who wanted to kill the guy who "screwed up", but just a guy who wanted to cover his ass and didn't really know what all that entailed, the killer no longer saw him as a continuous threat and the people who were to blame he had already killed. So not worth the amount of trouble that would follow killing him.
I thought it was great, that made the killer look smart and not just this killing machine that killed without thought.
@@NikstSWE You are probably right but, I mean, he had killed everyone before that, even the poor cab driver, and when he got to the big boss.... nothing? But I still love the film, one of my favorites of the year.
@ But that was the thing, turned out he really wasn't the big boss. He was just a client that asked for the "insurance" of no blowback without really thinking about what it meant.
I really loved the movie as well. One of those I kept thinking about after it was over and it grew even more on me.

Tilda Swinton even in her small role made such a huge impression, she didn't even have much to do... she just talked for 5 minutes and walked for 2 minutes. Can you imagine 5 to 7 minutes of screentime and still having such a huge impact.
Are you serious? That was embarrassing for an actor of her stature. Saddled by cliched writing for sure.

Love your videos! Shame you're recommending the Fleet Command game, it's addictive enough to need to be weaned off of. Advancement happens so slowly that you need to address it extremely often to progress (progression can take months), unless you pay out of pocket to speed up the time it takes to build. This results in training you to look at it way too much to keep you engaged. To anyone who hasn't played it but intends to: please don't. For your own sake!
It's a typical mobile game then. If folks are truly that desperate for a Trek game then there's always STO.
Actually just finished it. And I have nothing to add. Nice change of pace with the slow burn, still held my interest for the whole time and the ending was interesting. Solid 8/10.
Its really bizzare that Michael Fassbender has never been in a David Fincher movie before this. Hes one of those actors that just feels natural for his style, like hes done this 100 times.
David Fincher's cinematographer Erik Messerschmidt said a similar thing, he said that they worked perfectly together and had almost the same feelings and ideas about the film.
The Equalizer 3 and The Killer are the most close thing we never have to a GOOD Hitman movie... AND THERE ARE TWO OF THEM! How they screw up TWICE?!
I thought it was ok. Kinda of a mini-John Wick or a Bourne movie.
Nothing special though.
@@Elatenl that's what I thought. The action was meh.
I should have said a made for TV PG John Wick.

2) Fight Club
3) Zodiac
4) Se7en
5) Gone Girl

This movie would probably be between Gone Girl and Se7en for me, I quite enjoyed it
Edit: 9) Alien 3
forgot to add Alien 3 haha, always forget its a Fincher film, but yea man so much wasted potential on that one, the setting seemed like if Fincher had more creative control it could have turned out really great.
What about Alien 3 or Mank?
I didn't like Zodiac that much. Probably because I knew how it ends before I saw it. I know that's not the point, but still.. I would rate Se7en much higher. I do agree that Panic Room is the weakest. Or maybe Alien 3 not sure
ah thanks for reminding me@@LuisSierra42 , totally forget about them. I haven't seen Mank as I wasn't really interested, and Alien 3 I just forgot to add to my list, updated it now but would be around the same level or below Panic Room

Awful film, turned it off aftet half an hour and he hadn't killed ANYONE! Just moped about and prepared alot. lol
Another brained ruined by too many Wick movies. ADHD?
The Taxi driver scene caught me off guard despite him repeating his rules throughout the film.
First time I've disagreed with you. The first 30 minutes was so boring and the payoff wasn't worth it. Maybe you just have to have certain mindset when you watch it.
I am patiently waiting for your review of The Holdovers. It might have topped my list of best movies of this year.
This movie was extremely mid unfortunately. Disappointing from Fincher. Wish he would just continue Mindhunter instead.
Great review! You have good energy! I also liked the movie... especially the beginning and that fight scene. When the cutip almost ordered the ice cream, I thought that was a code for military back up. Nope. She was simply killed. It all went downhill from there, in my humble opinion. Still, I give it a lot of points especially since I was born in Florida and raised in the DR and in Chicago. They filmed in all my favorite places!
Guess you could say this is another *HIT* for Fincher
I think this comment will be HIT or MISS
My biggest complaint was that the movie felt lifeless. Tilda Swinton's was the only character that felt like a real person.
This movie was incredibly "meh".
The thing I like most about this movie is "the killer" constantly talking to us and telling us his rules. And yet at every single turn he breaks every rule. I can see people finding this boring, but I found it enjoyable.
