David Fincher has a habit of naming his movies very matter-of-factly. Fight Club was about well, a club where you could fight (at least on the surface), Gone Girl focuses on the disappearance of a girl (woman). No surprises for what his latest movie, The Killer, is about.
Only just released in cinemas, the Michael Fassbender-helmed thriller is coming to Netflix on the 10th of November, and with an 89% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes, it looks like we're in for a treat. To have such a short lag time between release and streaming launch, Fincher has clearly forgiven Netflix for cancelling Mindhunter (even if we haven't).
The Killer follows Fassbender's zen-like hitman (unnamed), an ultra-professional sort who meticulously devotes himself to the art of assassination. If you were a pro hitman you'd probably try to get yourself pumped up before each job, but that's not the case here. Before a job, we see The Killer listening to The Smiths and doing yoga. We all have a work routine, it's just that his involves a sniper rifle too. When a job goes wrong, however, things have to be a little less preplanned as The Killer fights for his life.
