so you are an incompetent jobber?
You aren't?
What’s incompetent about him? Some bystandard gets in the way of his first hit but he ends up escaping the cleaners and manages to tie up all his loose ends. Did you meme too hard with the rest of the morons my friend?
>What’s incompetent about him?
nothing and that's why it's so uniteresting on a character level
the writing is reddit-tier lame and fincher obviously handed over all directing to his intern
Ok thanks for admitting he isn’t incompetent.
he's not
he's just poorly written, dull and not relatable to anyone other than ugly autistic loner incels
>What’s incompetent about him?
Off the top of my head?
Kills the hooker by mistake at the beginning.
Kills Hodges by mistake with the nailgun
Can't even properly sneak in and do a silent assassin rank on the big Florida dude
Confront Q-Tip lady in the middle of a restaurant with dozens of witnesses
Gets caught on camera while sneaking into the billionaires penthouse
It's a frustrating movie. The opening narration sets him up as a super clean killer who takes pride in not being noticeable in the slight. Then the ENTIRE rest of the movie is him going out of his way to do moronic shit that could easily get him caught.
as others have said, the trailer baited us into thinking it was going to be a psychological thriller with a schizo hitman. something interesting and new and fresh. instead it's just the usual "oh the hitman got burned by his agency and has to kill or be killed".
i thought it was going to be fight club but with fass as the cool, slick neurotic assassin instead of an insurance adjuster. i was wrong. and i got memed into seeing it (for free) by Cinemaphile. the shills are effective.
>instead it's just the usual "oh the hitman got burned by his agency and has to kill or be killed".
The fact that they continue to churn this shit out proves AI has been writing these scripts for years.
>there's six gorillion mcdonalds in france
>i eat at mcdonalds
>in france
seriously what the frick was the point of this scene other than product placement?
capitalism is bad or something i dunno
I don't know but I suddenly feel the urge to order on Amazon
because it cant realistaclly be traced back to him by law enforcemnt, if he ate at some high end expensive restauarant it would be that much easuer to narrow down who did it
He's trying to do something so lame and tourist-y so he just fades into the background and nobody will want to approach him
he literally says he's styling himself as a german tourist to be as standoffish as possible
to show how shitty his life is, he has millions of dollars on his accounts but he has eat slop
McDonalds helps and abides this killer the same way other big corporations do like Hertz and Amazon
you can listen to the words next time you watch something. it's okay.
maybe it is too hard at 2x speed. i wouldn't know.
Making fun of the trope where assassins are sophisticated artisans who only eat at small coffee shops or expensive restaurants
is that even a trope though?
name one film that does that
John Wick
Ava
Polar
Bullet Train
Le Samourai
The Man From Toronto
I don't watch mid slop for mouth breathing brazillians
I said name one FILM
you've clearly never seen le samurai either
the average the killer disliker
Over the course of the kino you see him eat plain and utilitarian meals to sustain himself. A banana, a boiled egg, the McDonald’s Breakfast.
In the two scenes where he has access to more sophisticated food - the hotel room service with which he uses only the cutlery and glass to secure the room, and the scene with Tilda and the whisky, he abstains.
Why? Is it to show that he is incapable of finding pleasure? That he has hardened and detached himself beyond such things?
>Why? Is it to show that he is incapable of finding pleasure? That he has hardened and detached himself beyond such things?
it's so poorly done, it's impossible to care
>A banana, boiled egg, McDonald's Breakfast
essentials for protein(strength) and heart health(to keep its rate low)
>he has access to more sophisticated food - he abstains.
It's because he was extremely paranoid at the airport hotel of that guy with the socks that he thought was tailing him.
He didn't eat at the restaurant for the same reason, he thought the expert alerted the chef that she was in danger by the way she ordered her food, and that it might be poisoned.
No, that’s simplistic.
What about the closing scene, in which he carefully makes a fancy coffee, putting the garnish of the orange peel on the side? It’s not for him, it’s for his wife. He lies down on the sun lounger (compare and contrast to the hard surfaces and chairs he sleeps in throughout the film: this is the first time we see him lie down).
The nice coffee, the comfy sun lounger, the nice house - none of it is for him. The final shot is of him twitching with anxiety and discomfort.
This, he has lived beyond all niceties and is already turned into a sociopathic killer whose only kicks he gets from the excitement of murdering people. Food is simply a tool to keep the motor running, he wouldn't even know what pleasure there is from good food.
>The final shot is of him twitching with anxiety and discomfort.
he's literally me
>and the scene with Tilda and the whisky, he abstains.
but he does drink the whiskey
There were a few scenes like this. Is this guy trying to meme this movie out? Did he try on purpose to make a movie so people could quote it and make edits on Twitter?
>living amongst the normies
I did a 360 and walked out of the netflix studio
a boring gay?
>murders the innocent secretary
>let's the billionaire who tried to kill him go
huh?
He literally says the Billionaire is a risky target because law enforcement responds more seriously the higher a victims net worth is. He also says he’ll be able to tell how his confrontation will go based on the billionaires eyes. He realizes the guy isn’t a threat to him, like the secretary, so he lets him off because it isn’t worth it. The secretary on the other hand is a nobody, and there isn’t going to be any blowback for killing her that could possibly be worse than what would happen if he let her go and she squealed. Same reason why he kills the Taxi driver, dude is some random shmuck in the Dominican Republic, and it’s not worth letting him live on the off chance he tips off the dudes Fassbender is trying to find. Plus an overarching theme is fassbender gradually starting to doubt his creed that has kept him alive in this kind of life for so long.
I like that some people get this movie, but I also like that there were people so pleb they went with the "protaganist = hero" meme and accepted a fricked up decision like firing nails into a guy's chest to torture him and his secretary at the same time and woke up this morning mildly loathing themselves.
>"protaganist = hero" meme
yeah because frick the audience for wanting to be entertained and have a character to relate to on emotional level
you autistic 'literally me' types are the absoulte worst and no one buys your try hard schtick
you're not stoic and cool, you're out of shape and ugly
>have a character to relate to on emotional level
lol. Pleb. And this guy isn't "literally me"...he's a fricking sociopath. That's the joke...you're trying to relate to this guy but it's impossible. So you get buttfrustrated and lash out from within your pleb-cell because you can't handle a movie that challenges your assumptions.
>he's a fricking sociopath
the literal defining ending scene begs to differ dipshit
>you can't handle a movie that challenges your assumptions.
right, because frick me for wanting to enjoy myself for 2 hours
>The guy who probably spent more than a decade killing people for money isn’t a sociopath because he retired with his qt3.14 gf in a mansion paid for with blood, after killing almost everyone who could possibly track him down.
It’s not the movie’s fault you’re stupid.
>It’s not the movie’s fault you’re stupid.
I'm so fricking handsome it doesn't even matter
but I'm still right either way
>That's the joke...you're trying to relate to this guy but it's impossible. So you get buttfrustrated and lash out from within your pleb-cell because you can't handle a movie that challenges your assumptions.
Fincher already did this character and it was great, the problem isn't that The Killer is "challenging my assumptions" of what a protagonist should be. The problem is that he's fricking boring, Amy Dunne was an infinitely more fascinating character to follow and the ending felt climatic and satisfying yet open ended. The Killer is just a trite boring action movie that goes nowhere and ends.
And to add on that, did the movie that ends with the action hero guy sitting on the goddamn beach with his gf living happily ever after really "challenge your assumptions"? Are you fricking kidding me? Was this your first assassin movie or something?
>you're out of shape and ugly
And brown. They're almost always brown "people" and mainly hispanics at that.
I mean it is kind of relatable.
Obviously I don't kill people, but still i can look at the situation and think, what would be logical thing to do in that situation. If killing a civilian is needed to achieve the goals than okay I can see the point of doing that. It's easy to relate to logical decisions. It's not the senseless violence after all.
I go to the gym and youve been on Cinemaphile seething and projecting for 20 years
let me guess, you also take creatine.
the cabbie's acting was so bad it broke immersion, which is what Fincher intended. he's an artist, a true genius.
Can you write one reply without projecting? "Let me guess " "I bet you" "You must"
What a sad, sad life you lead.
It's also what the movie was building up towards the entire fricking runtime, whether it makes sense or doesn't it's still a shitty gimmicky cop out ending that renders the entire movie pointless. It's nothing this whole movie is nothing, it just feels like watching someone's OC do cool shit for a couple hours and The End. It's real easy to reduce people's dislike for the character as normie marvel fans but what do you say to someone who just sees him for the shallow, nothing, not even a fricking arc, waste of time character he really is?
he had no information about what the client's motivations were, or his power-level. but he had the client's name, so he knew who he was, and could've done some quick research. anyway, before meeting the client, he *assumed* that the client specifically told the black handler guy that he wanted the K_.ller taken out. so he saved the client for last and decided to talk to him and intimidate him out of taking any further action. however, during that conversation, it was clear the client was just a newb who was in over his head, so there was no danger remaining. in fact, after the K_.ller took out hodges (the handler), he was basically no longer in danger. the other two assassins probably got paid half of the sum they were contracted to take out the K_.ller, and after the death of hodges, they would have no further motivation to go after the K_.ller since there was no one left to pay them. of course, the K_.ller didn't know that, so he had to make sure by taking out everyone involved.
Stop explaining to me like I didn't know what happened. Why do you homosexuals always respond with a breakdown of the story instead of an actual argument. My point is that this story is shit on a foundational level, it's about nothing and leads to nothing, it's just a backdrop for the new shitty personality for dorks to emulate. I don't care if the anti climatic and boring ending makes sense, it's still anti climactic and unsatisfying, it doesn't make for a fun or interesting film. It's just a vehicle for certain types of audience members to latch onto this character because of how "cool" he is. This isn't a marvel homosexual who can't handle stories about bad people, this is someone who hates seeing credit being given in places where it's not deserved. There are so many other great movies about hitmen, In Bruges and Man Bites Dog are personal favorites of mine. The Killer is not going to be getting a seat at that lunch table. Also I really hope you're typing the movie out that way ironically you absolute cornball.
but i agree with you 100%, and yes i am a cornball. i'm not cool or edgy or stoic. i frick up all the time. and although this movie was bad in my opinion, it had a message i needed to hear: you can frick up and still survive, especially if you get lucky along the way. it's Netflixslop, of course it's not going to be good. there were no twists or turns. it was just a guy who messed up and out of survival instinct plus love for his gf, goes and does what he needed to do. it is about nothing. it was a waste of time. just like me posting on Cinemaphile.
no one's perfect.
Well then take it as me generally speaking to dumbshit fans of this movie.
your post absolutely reeks of reddit. /film/ was a mistake because it brings homosexuals like this onto the board. you don't even understand how to critique film, you use buzzwords you would find on a diamond dozen youtube reviewer video. i can't get over how much a homosexual you are, kid. no one cares about your shit opinions, how dare you believe otherwise
None of your whining counts as an argument try again.
your post got exactly the response it deserves, redditor. your mind is the equivalent of a mcdonalds drive through
>still has mcdonald's on the mind
No wonder you like this movie. Go out and get that 10g of protein champ, you're going to miss it! Remember to stick to the plan and whatnot.
you're a witless shit head, you know that? i bet you clapped in your head when you thought of that zinger, you humongous homosexual. why can't you killed yourself yet?
>no one cares about your shit opinions
>i can't get over how much a homosexual you are, kid.
Imagine getting malding this hard over a redditor.
now here comes the zoomer npc
Fincher and his writer guy subverted expectations by mixing things up:
>there was no damsel in distress because his gf already got frickin REKT early on in the story. Fass has her transported to a different and presumably better hospital. she's not seen again until the end.
>Fass carefully stakes out the Brute, so we assume it's going to be a very precise hit but he goes into the house and also gets rocked and ragdolled.
>from the trailer we assume he's this perfectionist pro but his perfectionism is also what leads him to miss and make various mistakes
>he only gets info about the other 2 and the client through sheer luck, that the secretary kept the paper records at her house
>after the FL fight we expect some action with the next hit but it's just a boring convo at dinner, then he takes her out back and shoots her in the head
>the final boss wasn't the end boss at all, it was just some hedge fund nerd
>the actual boss and mastermind behind all his troubles was the lawyer/handler who he already took out. a brief line states that this handler was also the guy who convinced Fass' character to quit law school and become a criminal
>unlike in The Gray Man, also Netflixslop, where the handler/mentor was somewhat loyal to the operator guy, in this movie there was no such loyalty.
>you expect Fass to get shot and die throughout this movie but he survives and, get this, returns to his house on the island with his gf who is now fully healed in just a matter of weeks.
The amount of reach to make this movie seem more deep and unique than it really is hahahaha holy shit. Bro this movie isn't even as good as The Mechanic calm down.
it isn't deep, it's incredibly shallow. it's about an over-the-hill hitman who is too old to get the job done, despite his experience and attention to detail. we got to see what happens when a hitman fricks up and it becomes his last job because his agency tries to kill him. it was mindless entertainment for people to waste 2 hours of free time if they were off work, had nothing better to do, etc.
there was no sex appeal, no funny moments or jokes, just the usual fincher cynicism. monotone voice over like with the first half of fight club. it's for people with uninteresting lives to escape for a little bit.
how many times have you posted in this thread, redditor? it has to be at least 100 posts
Do you usually get this mad when someone makes fun of your new personality?
more presumptuous redditor bullshit. i can't believe this dumb homosexual actually believes his own garbage. you really are an immense homosexual
You've been manically calling people redditors in every one of your posts, you are not allowed to complain about others being presumptuous you dumb indian netflix employee.
you're a redditor, it's a fact. this board is a reddit colony
i lost count, but yea at least 100.

frick bro, this shit was so mid pandering esl nonsense I had to double check the IMDB of the talent involved
this was a genuinely such a poorly made flick
which is sad because mank was fincher at his best and I thought was signaling a new direction for him, but after this frick man idk
>be so tired and sleepy you frick up the hit
Re-watch the Tilda Swinton conversation and maybe you'll start to understand why she infuriated Mark Kermode by recycling the Bear joke from The Crown...the context justifies it.
Look up Ted Bundy and his wife, numbnuts. Even rampaging psychopaths can have a soft spot. And maybe you'll grow up and want to be challenged by movies the same way jazz challenges your musical tastes, maybe not.
Imagine being this zoomer that you couldn't follow a basic 2 hour film
>dress like lé german tourist in light colors and hawaiian shirt that stands out against everyone else wearing drab colors during fall/winter
In Paris he literally looked like the uninteresting tourist that he explained.
>most likely you want to snipe him at night
Based on what? No, most likely you want to snipe during the day when the blinds are more likely to be open.
>have multiple chances to snipe him but choose not to
If you'd paid literally any attention you'd know he was waiting for his heart rate to drop.
>wait until the target is obviously blocked
Except he wasn't blocked at all until the moment before he fired.
>could have sent a text to gf saying she's in danger and to leave the safehouse
It's not a safehouse. It's a regular house. And he had no reason to think they knew where he lived. That's why he was so surprised when he saw the cigarette butts at the gate.
Christ, at least pay attention before you go whining about a film that clearly went over your head despite being incredibly straightforward and simple.
>Imagine being this zoomer that you couldn't follow a basic 2 hour film
stop making this basic arguement
shit was so ham fistedly explaing it's insulting
it's simply a sloppy, overlong, slog of a trash flick for brazilians
Nta but if you want to criticize the movie at least get the plot points right
>the plot points right

I mean it does have a story regardless of your opinion of it. Again, try to get the basic things right first, then take it from there.

absolutely not

>criticises the film for not understanding a bunch of stuff that was explicitly explained
>"STOP TELLING ME I COULDNT FOLLOW IT"
Maybe stop outing yourself as a dumbfrick first?
>In Paris he literally looked like the uninteresting tourist that he explained.
no, he stood out immediately because he was wearing all light colored clothing and a frickin tropical shirt. in the middle of paris where everyone else was wearing dark colors.
>No, most likely you want to snipe during the day when the blinds are more likely to be open.
almost everyone could see him standing next to the window, including that one old guy who saw him from his window.
> waiting for his heart rate to drop.
yes i did notice that. why? what was the point of that special heart rate number? another unnecessary step which led to him failing
>Except he wasn't blocked at all until the moment before he fired.
again, i reiterate, he had multiple opportunities to shoot the target but waited until the dominatrix steps right in front of the mark to fire. that was simply sloppy.
>It's not a safehouse.
Chapter 2 was "the hideout"...basically means the same as safehouse
Heart rate is extremely important for sniping. You are so fricking stupid and yet you talk so confidently about things you know nothing about, people like you are insufferable.
>heart rate is at perfect number to shoot
>pull trigger right when target is obscured and it was clear that something was about to get in the way (the woman)
>pull trigger anyway
>curtains were see-through so he could've waited
>could've also provided himself time to lower heart rate earlier
>didn't have the rifle ready so he wasted further time and increased heart rate by having to assemble it
yeah he was a pro who finally got too old, too bored, to get the job done.
Does the dominatrix die btw? I rewatched that scene carefully and she's hit around the ass area. It's never implied in the movie if she lives or dies, and Fassbender doesn't care at all, obviously.
In the comic she does. Not only her but two other people. Kek
Some anon posted a few pages earlier today. His frickup is royal in the original work which makes it a lot more funnier.
>no, he stood out immediately because he was wearing all light colored clothing and a frickin tropical shirt
Tourists stand out as tourists. You pass several every day in any busy city and pay zero attention to them. You'd know this if you ever left your room
>almost everyone could see him standing next to the window
No they couldn't. Have you literally never looked at someone's window in broad daylight? The sun reflects off the glass and the daylight is so much brighter that the window acts as a mirror
>including that one old guy who saw him from his window
You mean literally the only person who saw him the entire time he was there?
>why? what was the point of that special heart rate number?
Why are you so insistent on seething about a film you clearly paid zero attention to?
>he had multiple opportunities to shoot the target
I mean if you want to completely ignore everything that the film clearly stated to you, why even bother watching the film in the first place? Why not just watch the trailer and then make up a bunch of shit to get mad about?
>"the hideout"...basically means the same as safehouse
if you're esl I suppose
That’s really the only scene I didn’t like because all he needed to do was keep his ski mask on, but I don’t think we ever see the cab company guy ever directly look at him, even if that’s a bit of a cope. That being said, are you seriously surprised that law enforcement in the Dominican Republic isn’t on the ball, or that some dude living in a shithole with a bunch of violent gangs doesn’t want to be known as someone who snitches?
he was wearing a mask and once we saw the guy tied up he was facing other direction
He begged the cab owner to open the door without a mask. Guy was looking right at him
he made the break in to look like a robbery and the two events look unrelated
Lol
This guy's going to be back working for MTV soon.
shilling pretty hard for anonymous anime figurine board
this was pretty plain and generic compared to Fincher's better films. the photography was uninspired too. The product placement / talk was funny.
Trash for women
I walked out of my room when he said that line about the mandatory 30 day waiting period for creatine
I was taken aback by that stupid line too
As someone who has lurked on Cinemaphile for years and seen so many shitposts treating creative like some schedule 1 narcotic, I found it fricking hilarious.
what does it mean? i genuinely didn't understand that one.
it's another glib line by the hack screenwriter attempting to be clever in some kind of odd GEN X boomer way, because fincher is old and out of touch now officially and he knows it sub-consciously
>homosexuals seething over Fincher putting a Cinemaphile creatine shitpost in the script
Kwab
yeah but what's the joke? why "30 day waiting period"? do the writers think that creatine is trenabol or something? i thought creatine just fills your muscles up with water and improves your endurance.

It’s a good film, and I’m more qualified on the matter. Kick rocks, bucko, you got filtered.

You sound like a woman
It’s literally just a dumb joke Fassbender makes while surveilling the Florida dude walking around with his equally bulky gym rat buddies. It’s not supposed to be taken seriously, it’s just him being snarky that those guys probably do drink a lot of creatine.

I swear half the stuff I read here when holidaying from /misc/ is better written than the stuff that gets greenlighted by the major studios.

At least the film has more character than you.
Honestly wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the same person. Last thread felt kind of same homosexual with some of the people acting like this movie fricked their dad and killed their mom with how hard they were trying to hate it. Wonder what that’s all about.
I think this movie felt like Fincher expanding on the initial yuppie consoomer bit of the start of Fight Club and it was overall fun.
This guy is my new personality. Actually, no, this movie copied my personality.
this film is one of the best filters since the northman. redditors hate it
it's certified kinography
What was in the bucket that he threw into the water while on the car ferry? That’s the only thing I felt like I missed. I even rewinded a bit to see if didn’t notice something before, but I still couldn’t figure out what it was.
the hands and teeth probably, too small for a head i think
Ah okay yeah, I was guessing it had to do with their remains, I just got stuck on the bucket being too small and not considering it was shit like that.
Was this movie supposed to be like an absurd dark comedy about a delusional idiot or was it just a bad script?
it's hard to tell but the script was an absolute mess and that's being generous
He isn't delusional. He messes up on ocassion but his credo mostly works.
I don't buy that the film is bad. I'm betting that this is going to be the next Prometheus. It's too interesting to ignore and forget and the division is already fierce.
Prometheus is terrible. But thank you for confirming that this is a movie for morons
>It's too interesting to ignore and forget and the division is already fierce.
its staight mid af moron
Trust no one.
Not even yourself.
it was kind of interesting to see "what happens if a hitman misses". my main gripe is that he had a gf who he cares about. so they basically did a bait and switch via the trailer and the first 20 mins, characterizing him as some sort of cold, detached killer. but the surprise TWIST is that he has a gf who got brutalized, and now he's out for both revenge and to make sure he's no longer in danger.
The first rule of Killer Club is:
Stick to your plan.
The second rule of Killer Club is:
Stick to your plan.
the first rule of lé k_.ller is maybe have a decent script before you film this ham fisted trash
the GF scene was a fat nothing and it brought down the stakes of an already grinding slog to zero
frick you fincher you old has-been
>my main gripe is that he had a gf who he cares about.
My main gripe is that the Florida man whose house he enters had absolutely no reason to suspect an intruder was in the house.
the FL man was so frickin stupid he didn't realize until half-way through the fight that he was dealing with whoever owned the house in the DRepublic. would have been funnier if he
it was also unrealistic for him to leave his door unlocked while taking a shower. and why didn't the FL man go outside to check why his dog was barking? all the k_.ller had to do was keep making the pitbull bark so that the brute would go outside, and then just shoot him right there. make it look like a drive by. instead he did what a dumbass would do, he went into the house, an uncontrolled environment.
the FL fight scene is further proof that we're not supposed to think the k_.ller was actually a highly trained pro. he even says he was just a law student until the black guy convinced him to become a criminal.
This was not my favorite ever post to read
i'm sorry, i didn't proof-read or try to write in a formal way. i'm also a brownoid.
i got the Bear joke. basically the k_.ller missed because he consciously or subconsciously is tired of his boring hitman job and finally wanted a way out. he wanted to retire, clearly had the money and house to do so, but didn't take that action. so instead he kept going doing his job until one day he fails, setting things in motion.
its not that deep, he missed
the flick does such a poor job of setting up literally any single plot point that it's just going to be wildly spectulated on forever by midwitted YT essay-ists
>the flick does such a poor job of setting up literally any single plot point
Nope. The dead giveaway is that he states that he wants his bpm to be 60 and it's racing at 101 when he finally finishes setting up. He can only get it down to 65 when he goes for the shot and fricks up. That's purposely done to show that his rules are starting to fall apart.
No, he very much is a highly trained pro even if he makes a handful of mistakes. It’s really weird seeing all the people labeling him as incompetent idiot, like he isn’t working in an extremely precarious field where most people don’t even get to make a mistake without it costing their lives. Way too many autists pulling a Wahlberg “all I’m saying is 9/11 would have gone different if I was on that plane” because the dude isn’t perfect.
well, mistakes aside, that's why it was reassuring and cathartic when the client says "no one's perfect, everyone makes mistakes". however, it looks like the writer/director did intend to show a pro who is slipping, someone who maybe used to be very good and precise, but is now too old. that's why they cast 47 yr old Fassbender. it shows that a very careful, experienced hitman can still frick-up, especially if his own over-carefulness leads him to make the mistake (e.g. he didn't give himself enough time to sleep).
he spent at least a day watching the brute, and commented on the fact that the guy was a meathead. what info could he have wanted from that sort of person? clearly he was emotional and wanted a more close-up encounter, like you said to ask "why did you beat up and rape my gf?" even though the answer is obvious, because the brute is a violent criminal with no morals (unlike tilda who was against it).
Yea it’s definitely conveying that he’s starting to lose his edge. I paid particular attention when he was walking up the parking garage to confront the Billionaire, and his monologuing is interrupted by him remembering what his gf said in the hospital. He’s clearly no longer in that sort of hyper focused no emotions mentality. That being said, the dude ultimately killed the guy sent to kill him and pretty much everyone responsible for ordering it. He’s still very much a dangerous dude and people acting like he’s some sort of frick up because he isn’t Agent 47 is very confusing to me.
>He’s still very much a dangerous dude and people acting like he’s some sort of frick up because he isn’t Agent 47 is very confusing to me.
That's exaclty I'm not buying this whole "it's a comedy/satire thing". It's doesn't make sense and he clearly made bank in his "career". So it's really just about a guy losing his edge and recognizing.
It’s definitely not a comedy / satire, but there are dark comedic / satirical tones in the film. I thought those tones were more directed towards the field of contract killing in general, not that we’re supposed to look at Fassbender as a “what if he agent 47 but goofy and dumb xD” as some people seem to believe
Apart from the miscommunication about tying loose ends what else is there? I think only the "Brute" fricking up
He clearly didn’t intend for the nail gun to kill the black dude as quickly. He was also too confident in his anonymity at the start of the movie, which is why he was surprised that his home was discovered. He also probably could have handled engaging the brute better. There are some other things I can point to that aren’t really frick ups, but do show he’s a little unnerved, like the mail delivery guy or him going back to wash his hands in the bathroom because he’s paranoid, even though he acknowledges he’s already done everything he can. But yes, he’s a pretty composed guy for the most part.
Fair points. Agree on all that. Still it holds for me that he's quite the competent fella, like you said in the beginning. Found this post also supportive of it:
>He kind of is an unstoppable killer though. 1 he killed enough people to have $8 million dollars, a Caribbean mansion and a half dozen lockers filled to the brim with guns and fake IDs. 2 if you whiff once they send the goon squad after you, so evidently this is his first failure. And 3 he rolls through pretty much everyone in the film, with the only hiccup being his mistake at trying to take the Brute in close quarters.
he makes mistakes all the time but they are minor and require paying close attention. One of the main themes of the movie is that despite his extreme ocd perfectionism he is actually on edge and close to losing his cool. If you notice he checks his HR several times and its showing him freaking out internally. He also starts chomping advil by the end of the movie
>He also starts chomping advil by the end of the movie
he does that because of the beatdown from the brute to relieve pain and inflammation
>I assumed that he wanted to have him at gunpoint and get some info/outlook like he did with Tilda Swinton
The most recent trailer before release does include the scene where the lady in New York mentions that she never intended to involve his “lady friend” or something along those lines. Pretty sure it also shows her in the hospital bed. That being said, the fact she was able to survive the encounter with the dude sent to kill Fassbender is a little unbelievable to me even if it isn’t impossible. That’s really the only thing I thought the film could have handled better. Still think it’s a 9/10 and the best new movie I’ve seen this year, if not the past few years.
all good points, agreed.
at the wework office, after he gets spooked by the mailman dropping off some letters, it should have been clear that he wasn't actually a pro. a pro wouldn't get that scared, and would have had some way to protect himself if his back was facing the door. the same thing happens in a Pierce Brosnan called Survivor (2015)....Pierce plays "one of the world's most dangerous hitmen" but he has his back facing a door as he's about to snipe, and the door is unlocked, opens, and spooks him. it's all very stupid. i feel moronic for watching moronic movies. but maybe that's all just a good lesson, i thought i was better than all this, but i'm not. just a dumbgoy who wants to be entertained by the latest mediaslop.
Can't figure out on how many layers of irony the movie was, the product placement was obviously tongue in cheek, same with the edgy monologues and the k_.ller constantly contradicting himself but what else was bad on purpose? That filipino guy scene was a total mess, the pacing was shit and the ending came so abruptly it had to be on purpose right? Was it in some kind of production hell and they just put together a scrappy version, cut the runtime down to exactly 2hrs and called it a day? Those normie and creatine lines had to be ironic
yeah, I clocked all of those points too
it's a total mess and you can tell it was poorly filmed and they tried to make up for that in editing and none of it worked as a result
fincher is old and lazy and reznors score may as well not even be there

You don’t know what you’re talking about. No credentials whatsoever.
This movie is like a snapshot of what I thought being cool was when I was 15. Right down to listening to the Smiths on my ipod.
reddit
the fist fight scene is probably one of the best ones i've seen
What took me off was Dog surviving.
Logical thing to do would be to poison a dog. Because of the danger. But trope was stronger than that.
Otherwise movie's pretty fun, strong recommend for autists.
Would tip off the owner if his dog dies suddenly
If his dog just dozes off and falls asleep he won’t be tipped off
oh wow cool so awesome that none of that plotting lead up to literally anything of consequence and the dog chases his ass down at the end of the sequence for cheap tension gibs
or he could make the dog bar so incessantly that the brute steps outside to see what all the fuss is about. perfect time for the The K_.ller to shoot him from behind a hidden spot. instead he goes into the house, opens the door which makes a beep, and gets into a near-death fist fight in an uncontrolled environment where he clearly didn't know the layout, allowed the Brute to grab him from behind.
killing the pitbull would of course create all sorts of headaches for Netflix and Fincher. picture weeks of hatemail from peta and pibble-moms, the public apology they will have to issue. they'll need to re-release the movie with an end card stating that no dogs were actually harmed in the making of this movie, and that they denounce any violence against animals.
>NOOOO YOU CAN'T INSULT MY HECKIN CREATINE WATER MUSCLES
I didn't get that part. Does creatine make you aggressive or temperamental or something like that? I've been taking it for a while now and haven't noticed anything like that. `
i think it was a general jab at body builders, i wouldn't think too much about it
I thought it was hilarious and a great jab at the whole "literally me" thing thats all over sites like twitter, instagram, etc. Right down to the start where how easily these same homosexuals that think they're the driver, k, bateman, etc get distracted by a woman despite pretending they don't care about that sort of stuff.
To me it's essentially the king of fedoracore making fun of himself and all his fans that are also fans of directors like Nolan, Villeneuve, Tarantino. You could say that this movie is something someone thats a fan of them would make, but I see Bullet Train that way

sooo is it worth a watch with my boomer dad?
Nah, its too wierd for boomers
but why?
It’s probably my favorite film of the year.
This movie is going to be great like Prometheus isn't it?
What was the final monologue about? And his twitching eye was done for a reason.
I enjoyed it up until the ending. wtf was that?
He knew he couldn’t get away with the final one. He says so
But he literally went and saw the billionaire client. The billionaire knows who he is and has a strong incentive to double down on killing him.
Plus he didn't even leave the Dominican Republic. Even seems like the same house, that he was almost killed in. What does he expect to happen? Surprised it didn't end with him getting shot.
Fassbender believes the Billionaire isn’t going to go after him, and I believe him. As he’s about to enter the apartment he says that he’ll know how this will go down as soon as he reads the guys eyes. While the billionaire is no saint, he’s definitely in over his head and is not someone well versed in these type of underworld dealings. If he came off like Hodges, as in someone who knows the score and would hold a grudge, he would have killed him and accepted that he’ll have to deal with an extreme response from law enforcement. On top of that, it’s not like reputable fixers for contract killings are easy to find, let alone convincing them to take you on as a client. Even with the guys wealth, it would probably be difficult for him to get it done if he even wanted to since the Expert and Hodges are dead. Plus the billionaire also has things to lose if he tries to go after him. It’s not like him ordering killings isn’t an extremely risky thing to do that would destroy his extremely cushy life if he got caught in act. And that’s before considering the dude was definitely scared of Fassbender and believed he’d make good on his threats if he didn’t leave him alone.
Yeah nah that's dumb.
A rich butthole who ordered two separate hits would not hesitate at all to order a third to protect his own life, the instant Fassbender left the room.
The movie doesn't fully explain how exactly the hitman system works but there were almost certainly a lot of other people involved. They'd be able to connect the dots eventually, especially given how clumsily Fassbender killed the two assassins.
It also doesn't make sense for Fassbender to kill several innocent people and then leave the guy who ordered a hit on him alone. Why leave a loose end when he was so thorough before?
It's just a weird non-ending. Soils an otherwise watchable movie.
He didn't exactly ordered a second hit.
The innocents were nobodies. The blowback for killing them to tie up loose ends is nonexistent, the Billionaire is going to attract the full attention of multiple federal agencies and probably some international ones as well. And no, the Billionaire really didn’t order two hits, the Expert / Hodges basically held his hand and led him to their preferred “clean up on aisle 3” option following Fassbender fricking up. If anything, they were ones primarily angry with Fass because he is essentially ruining the reputation of their services. I agree that it’s definitely possible it could come back to bite him, but I also totally understand why he did what he did on making a judgement call.
none of this needs explaining they lay it out verbatim in the film
do none of you people's brains even fricking work??
I’m just explaining for an anon, no need to bite my head off.
shut up homosexual go back to your b***hmade hugbox
Nah
i hope for your sake you aren't actually this stupid
>The movie doesn't fully explain how exactly the hitman system works but there were almost certainly a lot of other people involved.
You're wrong, it tells you everything that the viewer should know. Admit it, you've been tic takking most of the movie's length. You also make an issue about information that should taken to be at face value. Some things this movie does actually spell out. It's on you whether you accept it or go into weird brain tangents that are unwarrented.
The billionaire is not someone with a grudge. He made payment to the black guy to solve the situation, but he didn't know exactly what that meant. After the killer learns this, he realises that he is most likely safe.
>The billionaire is not someone with a grudge.
what if he was just a K_.ller we met along the way so far as to could you ever so want to as to do?
reddit
I stopped reading this post two lines in
bro you are fricking moronic
The billionaire didn't know where he lived, all he knew what that the guy he hired through a middle man had flubbed the job and he was offered the option to have him killed for extra. The Killer killed all the middle men who had made that happen.
i gotta be honest that was one of the worst movies i've ever seen
For me it's second only to Oppenheimer. Great movie.
It was genuinely shit, nothing happened. About half the film is listening to an autistic persons internal monologue
Plenty of things happened, it just didn't add up to anything. Ending feels like they forgot to finish the script.
Just finished it
Michael Fassbender is kino
Still remember Fish Tank like it was yesterday
God it feels good to be subbed to Netflix
Loved the opening theme.
classic fincher
I was confused about the character by the end. From the conversation with Tilda, it seems like she is insinuating that he doesn't just kill for money or make a life for himself, but because he actually enjoys it. but they also imply that he mentally sabotaged his first hit in the movie on purpose because he is subconsciously getting tired of killing, thus why he spares the billionaire at the end. The final line would seem to support this by him referring to himself as "one of the many", but he also has an eye twitch when he does so. So which is it? did he realize he actually does care about people and wants to retire with his latina gf. Or is he actually just a serial killer and will be back to doing hits in a couple months?
>So which is it?
Probably the latter. 'One of the many' didn't sound right coming from him and that twitch was the sign that he winced or cringed of the thought.
I was leaning that direction as well, but why then the implication that he botched the first hit on purpose? was it just a mental block he had to overcome?
I think the story that the joke tells doesn't imply an purposeful self-sabotage. The hunter really does aim to kill the bear.
What Tilda says is that the hunter gets fricked up after each consecutive failure, but that he keeps coming back. And the bear suggests that the hunter is starting to like it (getting fricked up).
Ur mom's a gay
Does it imply that Fass liked that he fricked? Like, he enjoyed the break from the emotionless contract killing so he could engage in some righteous revenge like all his favourite movie characters and actually get to have a dramatic talk with his target instead of whacking them before they even realize that?
Of course it's up to the audience, but I like to think the twitch is just a symptom of him entering an adjustment period where it's going to take some time for him to acclimate to this new way of life. Was honestly very surprised he didn't get killed at the end. I actually thought his GF was going to kill him, or have someone kill him, because of the scene when he's walking up the parking garage to confront the billionaire and he recalls her saying she never gave him up or anything, made me think it was setting her up as a traitor. But I'm glad he didn't, because wow, he is literally me ;^)
too bad it doesn't matter because there's no reason to care
I cared and found it very enjoyable. I'm sorry you can't enjoy that deviate from traditional storytelling methods. Perhaps The Marvels is more your speed?
you should still be directing music videos dave
Sorry I rejected you for an intern position, but you really need to get over it. Guess I was right to do so.
he was one of the "many" in the sense he was now retired and in the position for others to take from him, now that he's done taking
>Killer fricks up
>Billionaire pays Hodges to "clean up" so it doesn't get traced back to him, but doesn't know what it actually entails
>Hodges calls the Killer
>Alright Killer, I need you to kill me and my secretary to atone for our shame, track down the assassin we sent to kill you, kill him, and then find the expert who hired the killer sent to kill you, and kill her too. Once that's done you need to surprise the Billionaire in person to show him our service is still the real deal, and that the guy you were hired to kill but didn't kill was just a killer bad break. Then tell him you're the killer and that everyone who knew anything has been killed and that the contract has been complete. Ideally you'll have a nice day right after, but I'll be dead by then so the choice is yours.
Why was the cleanup in Aisle 3 option so convoluted and why did Hodges say kill/killer/killed so much? Who the frick wrote this?
>Why was the cleanup in Aisle 3 option so convoluted and why did Hodges say kill/killer/killed so much? Who the frick wrote this?

Fincher is probably the best mid-high tier director still currently working. Make sure to watch Zodiac, Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, and the early seasons of House of Cards and Manhunter.

To view themselves as such while they ride an electric scooter delivering packages.
To have the delusion that they too have power over that faceless system they work for and they can totally threaten those rich people that are leaving a bad review on their profile along with the middle managers that have power over them.
But the movie practically spells out that he is just a normie masquerading as literally me/le samourai and his tryhard mantras are obviously there to make him look like a dork. It's not subtle enough to be predictive programming.
Since he still has the power and material possession normies crave this just means that they too can be just like him if they try hard enough.
>SEA wife

This is the first "real" Fincher in 9 years. How does it hold up? For reference, I think The Social Network - Dragon Tattoo - Gone Girl was the peak of his career.
it's genuinely fricking shit, it's direct to netflix slop and it truly feels like it, if it wasn't finchman it wouldn't make a mark anywhere
It's great. Only people who seem to dislike it are speedwatchers, people who can't enjoy movies unless it has some super character driven marvel slop story that they can "relate to", or that one autist who seems extremely bootyblasted at David Fincher as a person and is probably samegayging it up.

Frick off you homosexual I could just as easily say you only like it because it's a new personality for you to be for the week. It's a shallow nihilistic and boring action movie that will be forgotten about in a week, I don't like the character because I can't relate to him, I don't like the character because he's boring and has little to no real arc. The movie was just a pointless mess. But no I'm just a salty marvel fan yeah, whatever helps you sleep at night.
*not because I can't relate
fincher was in a slump for a while with canceled projects or mank, but this is really a return to form for him
Worse than those movies, he eliminated all human element. The dialogues are used sparingly and it's mostly about the killer philosophically musing to himself while he does mundane things like checking in bags by the airport, going to the car station picking up a car etc. It's entirely different in that sense which i enjoyed, but you won't come out fulfilled like those three movies.
Initial sequence is pure 'let the story breath' kino. Third act is kind of a mess. Cold and warm lights was a little too much on the nose. Cool flick. More like this?
Ever since Frank I have liked Michael fassenbend
Fassbender in this movie is literally assassin normie version of Patrick Bateman.

Did he give Fincher bj's to get this part?
yeah he was a shit actor
surprised fincher let him in
This movie feels pretty cheap in general for Fincher. I don't think he got as much time as he needed to achieve his usual level of polish.
a Fincher movie with two A-list actors (Fass/Tilda) went direct to streaming, with very limited theatrical release in select cities. meanwhile, two feminist pictures got wide releases to 3800-4000 theatres and are pulling in millions. the future is female. when deep space exploration starts, they'll name entire galaxies after women.
for zoomies who aren't aware, Fincher was kind of a big deal.
I think Netflix always planned on a very limited theatrical release, since they are a streamer. I think the theatrical window was mostly that it can qualify for awarards (not that it will), same thing they did with Mank, Irishman, Blonde and bunch of other movies.
You have to bear in mind Tilda Swintins character was desperately trying to convince him to spare her life without outright asking him not to kill her.
She was buying time and looking for an opportunity
So are you. It isn't working.
>bear
she could have at least eaten some of all that delicious gourmet food. she could have given a panicked look at the waiter, which would have forced The K_.ller to take her out inside the restaurant, force his autistic ass to improvise, which would make things messy for everyone else inside.
any attempt to get away will have resulted in her death. the only difference is that it'll make it harder for the killer. her first priority was to save her life. anything else didn't matter.
>is named "the expert"
>didn't notice she was being followed
