He’s back, ladies and gentlemen. After a brief foray into a crisp, charming biopic without even a single violent murder, David Your-Pets-Don’t-Love-You-They-Love-Being-Fed Fincher returns to reclaim his throne as the sultan of sadness with all the blood, nihilism, and that distinctly Fincher-y sickly hue of yellow you expect from him in The Killer, a 2023 psychological thriller based on the French graphic novel of the same name written by Alexis Nolent released exclusively to Netflix because that’s a thing movies do now. The Killer has earned plenty of sevens, eights, and occasional nines from the general movie going public, but no one cares because today Nathan and Elliot, both of whom are fluent in Fincher, have returned as well to evaluate Dave’s newest offering. Grab some piano wire and a silencer because we’re going in stealthy to deliver this movie a clean and most definitely unnoticed review!
