The Killer, a David Fincher-directed psychological drama starring David Fassbender as a self-motivational hitman trying to overcome a job gone disastrously wrong, debuted to 55.7 million viewing minutes, scoring Netflix's best movie opening in three months.
The Killer touted something kind rare in a Netflix movie — solid critical backing, with The Smiths-infused film, also starring Tilda Swinton, scoring 86% among the navel-gazing set on Rotten Tomatoes.
