‘The Killer’: He may not look it, but Fassbender’s a murder virtuoso in masterful movie

To avoid attention in Paris, the assassin in “The Killer” (Michael Fassbender) disguises himself as a frumpy German tourist. (Netflix)

David Fincher’s “The Killer” is a meticulously crafted and masterfully rendered film about a meticulous and masterful assassin, and with Michael Fassbender in the lead role, you just couldn’t have a better triangle of material, director and actor. This is the kind of movie that had me in its grips from the opening frames and never let go — the kind of movie that has you thinking: I can’t wait to see this one again.

        And again.
