Yeah the pointlessness made it better imo. It's a bit like Le Samourai, but with dark humor and technology. Are people getting too analytical to enjoy shit like that or why the bad ratings?
it's just an underwhelming anticlimactic movie, as soon as tilda swinton showed up i know the movie would be bad from there on out and it was, wasnt actually too bad until then. was quite well made for a modern movie at least.
It's a much better way to make a movie about an assassin on the run than any of the John Wick sequels. I really liked it.
It was done to hammer in some point. First he tried to kill his competitor then he ordered Fassbender killed without even thinking about it. The israelite set the entire thing in motion and is the most responsible. A lot of people that shouldn't have died, died. Middle and low class people just doing their job, the cab driver, the secretary they were all worthless and expendable . In the end there's some sort of monologue about how there are two class of people and Fassbender belongs to the lower class because his life is expendable and there are consequences for his actions while the crypto ( as in cryptocoin ) israelite didn't have any consequens.
The prostitute got murdered without a second thought. His target which was some rich guy got away. The client who was the rich guy got away. The people in the middle all tortured and killed each other in the most brutal ways, some innocent people died. It's some kind of commentary on capitalism that richest life without consequences while people who are not at the top of the system need to constantly dehumanize and crawl over each other in order to survive. This is not my interpretation it's very obviously in the movie. I don't really like the way the message is handled but that's the movie
I think hates a strong word.
I haven't seen this movie for the record
But I don't know that I could hate a film
I hate blacks, women, leftists, but most trivial minor things I don't feel strongly enough about to ascribe an emotion as powerful as hate
Maybe try to dial back usage of the word and only apply it where it's really meant.
Theres nothing to it. It plays out like a shotlist for a movie without anything going for it. The killer just travels around killing people. If it went full action/thriller, it would be justifiable or if the killings were these convoluted scenarios that were exciting in themselves, but they arent.
It's not clever or deep enough for it to be this restrained and it isnt exciting enough for the plot to be this straight forward. So it just falls in the middle of high brow thriller and dumb action, but does neither.
I watched this autist wander around talking to himself about nothing for twenty minutes just to see him miss an easy shot. That whole scene where he was passing up an open shot for ten minutes while he waited for his heart rate to slow down to however many beats per second was so fricking stupid. It reminded me of the only time I ever missed a shot at a deer because I was scoping it out and waiting for it to turn broadside for the perfect shot and instead it just ran away. I’ve never turned down a clean shot since and I’m still kicking myself for letting that buck get away. If this guy was supposed to be a professional assassin he sure came off like an incompetent one.
I assume because it robs men of the power fantasy of being a spy or an assassin. These types of men like to imagine wearing cool suits and driving sports cars like in John Wick or James Bond. The reality is you dress like a schlub and drive ugly cars to blend in with all the other normies. The reality is recon work is boring. The people review bombing this film probably wanted something more like John Wick, and not mundane reality.
Why is everything in netflix so woke and why is half the cast in everything black?
I've been binge watching netflix shows all week (while paying for it) and literally half the cast is black or brown with Reddit tier social commentary. I really thought it was a meme.
That's not a terrible rating but the movie deserves a higher one. It's a classic case of being too clever for the expectations of a dumbed down audiences. Its show not tell approach filters some people, particularly those who didn't get why the taxi driver was killed and the billionaire was spared and the ones who expected a cardboard flawless character with naive morals
>those who didn't get why the taxi driver was killed and the billionaire was spared
people will say it's a commentary on capitalism but it could really just simply be the case that he was seen on camera and killing the rich guy would prevent him from settling down. the movie isn't really thematically coherent enough to tell either way, the only undeniable thing is this:
It's seems more like parody of sigma cinema than a realistic depiction. People just don't get it apparently
>people will say it's a commentary on capitalism
Nonsense. Both decisions are practical and in line with the killer's objectives. Sparing the rich guy was indeed a way not to open a can of worms once it's clear he didn't ask for the killer or his gf to be assassinated: the driver otoh knew too much/lived near the main character.
Guy goes on a revenge tour for his girlfriend who wasn't even killed, just beaten. He murders many people, including innocents, on a quest to get to the top of the chain. When he finally gets there, the guilty guy is let off with a warning because regular people mean so little to him that he didn't even realize he was putting out a hit.
It's a well made movie, but that's a really bad story.
he doesnt kill the israelite at the end so the movie was pointless

Bourne is probably the best assassin kino we can hope for
also the masked man in smoking in aces
two all beef patties special sauce lettuce cheese pickles onions on a sesame seed bun
Honestly it ain't that good. I'm very surprised Davif fricking Fincher made it.

Too much monologue that says nothing interesting.
It's a bad movie
6.8 is right on the money for this movie. Decent flick worth watching but nothing mins blowing
I'm honestly not sure I thought it was great
The movie was beautifully shot but wholly shit is it boring. Nothing really happens.
Another product without passion. Sure some may like it but nobody would love it
Lots of plebs these days

It's better than The American.
Because it wasn't flashy capeshit like John Wick. But it also wasn't a pretentious borefest for pseuds like You Were Never Really Here
beautifully put
>wasn't a pretentious borefest for pseuds
except it was
>You Were Never Really Here
filtered
>pseud outing himself as a moron
lmfao

Thats sounds like the best explanation.
Audiences would hate The Samourai if it came out today
>mundane reality
Exactly how moronic are you that you think this movie was realistic? Full on down syndrome level or just average sub-saharan IQ tier?
It's seems more like parody of sigma cinema than a realistic depiction. People just don't get it apparently
yeah that's what it's supposed to be
but i'm not sure why you'd spend a year of your life making that sort of film
Because he wanted to
because it's a waste of fincher and fassbender

The taxi driver knew where he lived. The billionaire barely knew he existed.
There was no point in killing him.
he was just killing him to leave no loose end, he'd have killed the billionaire as well if it wouldnt compromise him
Why would he kill him though? He is no threat, he doesn't get paid for it and it would lead to more people looking for him. Zero reasons.
People don't make sense. Most of the time
>people will say it's a commentary on capitalism

yeah, i agree
>cool people making it
>seems like a cool but simple story
But the trailer was so cringe it made me lose all interest.
It insisted upon itself
