The Killer

The Killer allows [Fincher] to exercise his own perfectionist instincts in a raw entertainment ” Donald Clarke Irish Times

David Fincher (Gone Girl, Fight Club) returns with a psychological thriller delving into the sinister world of a yoga-loving assassin (Michael Fassbender).

A man solitary and cold, methodical and unencumbered by scruples or regrets, the killer waits in the shadows, watching for his next target. And yet the longer he waits, the more he thinks he’s losing his mind, if not his cool. A brutal, bloody and stylish noir story of a professional assassin lost in a world without a moral compass, this is a case study of a man alone, armed to the teeth and slowly losing his mind.
