I wouldn’t sponsor fleet command again. It’s an outdated buggy, laggy piece of garbage. If they fixed the dozens of bugs that have been present since day one several years ago… it would be good
I love how anti-glamourous this movie is. And it shows how even the profession of an assassin for hire can be as mundane and boring as shit as any other job. Until it s not. No one whacks 50 guys in a club in one go, no big explosion at the end, no mega car chases. Just a sociopath doing his job. Definitely a sleeper cult film. I m calling it right now.
The Equalizer 3 too, no big action, Denzel kill everyone like he was Death itself, a shadow. The Perfect Assassin. And The Killer the real thing, a job of pure estrategy, the desguise, passports, clone a card... damn. We hace 2 Hitman movies and EITHER HACE ANYTHING OF THAT! Only a bald guy in a suit who is called Agent 47😂
Michael Fassbender really does have the unfortunate distinction of being the most talented actor in the worst era of Hollywood. If he'd come on the scene a decade earlier he'd be a legend by now.
@@martin..3700well I think it’s same as everything else, it’s subjective. It’s not a bad thing to say he is the most or not. There are many actors you could consider the most talented and someone would say they aren’t
He kind of is a legend? He was fantastic in First Class and Future Past. He was incredible in Shame…Steve Jobs. I haven’t seen Hunger but that seems to be also great. And now he’s the lead in a Fincher film. He is really well respected and besides a few duds has consistently put out some astonishing performances and films.
This movie had some unexpectedly hilarious moments too in the small details, like his inner monologue being cut off by something completely unexpected, and my personal favourite: During the fight scene in the Florida house he tries to pull a knife out of a drawer but instead finds himself wielding a zester unexpectedly. He then stares almost offended at it, and that killed me. Great film!
When I saw the grater, I was like, "this about to get really fucking gruesome." Then when he chucks it I straight up laughed out loud. Fuckin Fincher man.
Someone being interrupted while thinking to themselves is as cliche as it gets in a film. Kind of like the cliche of a hitman saying you’ve got to stick to a system, then proceeds to not stick to his system. 🙄
Michael Fassbender has been wasted in a lot of movies in the past few years. Happy to see him in a return to form of a performance. This is easily his best since 2015's Steve Jobs.
The Killer is one of my favorite movies recently! It's a character study of someone who desperately wants to delude themselves that they're this infallible calculated killer purely dedicated to the job, only to find out he's just emotional and flawed as 'the many'. His internal monologue that he keeps repeating to himself slowly turned into hypocrisy. His confidence with certain actions backfired right in front of his eyes. The 'action scene' that usually comes from these types of movies started all because he was caught off guard (not to mention he didn't even completely put the dog to sleep). The supposed big-bad of the movie (the client) turned out to be someone who didn't even know who he was or what happened to him. The only time he actually did something without a hitch or contradiction was him emotionally killing an innocent driver who was the most detached from the whole situation. It's both a character study and a deconstruction of the hitman-movie type that expects a huge climax/confrontation of the main bad guy followed by pure satisfaction for the protagonist.
He talked the talk but didn't walk the walk. We never saw him succeed, he fucked up at every turn. Really made it impossible to root for the guy. Why not build him up and show him do it right before the fall. Made for a not very engaging film. I just tought he was full of shit in his monologue. And story otherwise was pretty by the book. I get what they tried to do, the components just didn't come together for an engaging film.
Well said bro the amount of times his tryhard monologues get interrupted later in the film just feels hilarious and self-aware of itself of how not in control this duffus is at his job 😂
One of my favorite details about the character I haven’t heard ALOT of people talk about: although the killer always appears calm and collected. His heartbeat monitor on his watch showed his heart rate as pounding but he always appears calm and relaxed! Was a cool way to show that even though he has killed hundreds of people he still got excited or. Nervous
This movie had one of the best fight scenes I've ever seen. I'm not sure if the build up to it was so slow and methodical that it just felt that much more intense, but I was totally blown away by it.
I usually don't care about fight scenes, if my husband isn't watching with me I skip them, but this one was on another level, it felt so real, like you could feel the guy's strength and weight through the screen
The fight scene in the house is one of the best scenes of the entire year. The way it contrasts the killer trying to maintain control with the huge burst of violence is so good
The Killer may not be as complex as Fincher's most popular films - it's pretty straightforward, similar to Panic Room - but it still is an enjoyable ride, mostly because of Fassbender's excellent performance and David Fincher's impeccable direction.
I think that’s why it didn’t hit for me at first.. it’s so straight forward compared to other Fincher works and the comic book is much more fleshed out.
I’m in my mid50s and have seen a lot of movies. I have been growing increasingly disappointed in the lack of originality and substance with many mainstream films. Bells and whistle special effects are increasingly thought to be enough. This movie had my attention throughout and it had me thinking afterwards. I found myself experiencing a lot of emotions as well. And yet, it was a slow burn by today’s standard. I thought it a great film for these reasons. From where I sit, your insights are spot on.
After watching The Killer then Next Goal Wins, you really see how much range Michael Fassbender has, like you almost forget he’s the same actor the characters are so different
Zodiac is my favorite Fincher movie, it’s one of my favorite movies ever. It’s shot so well, the acting is top notch. It’s told in such a riveting and compelling way. The funny thing is when I first saw it I was disappointed because I’m a big fan of true crime and I was hoping he’d include more suspects than just Marshall and Allen, but then I realized the movie wasn’t really about analyzing suspects and I recalibrated my expectations and it became one of my favorite movies.
The song when he flees on the bike in the beginning just shows how incredible Trent and Atticus are scoring a movie. Any other composer would have some garbage chase/escape music. This song was haunting and it's burned into my mind.
I love that throughout the movie from the first scene his constantly questioning if he can still do this and if he has what it takes. It’s a story of a man trying to convince himself of who he is. That’s how I see it
Physical media is GROWING - not dying At its peak- DVD sales were 16K per year. Sales flagged when streaming started... During the pandemic it went back up to 16K Last year it was at 22K. The first 5 months of this year did 13K.
DVD sales? People are still buying DVDs? Or did you mean BluRay? I have no clue, haven't had a disc drive in my desktop pc since at least 10 years. Aren't DVDs limited to 720p? I cannot imagine anyone in 2023 would want to watch anything in sub 1080p resolution.
As a massive fan of “The Smiths” I loved how every song in the movie was “The Smiths” Songs! Except a single song by “Portishead” which is another of my favorites
Michael Fassbender brings so much gravitas to any role he plays. Its sad that he isn't cast in more high profile roles, and that he took such a long hiatus from the limelight, when he could have capitalized on that charisma. He is a prime example of how, having the misfortune of being in a string of flops, can ruin a promising career.
After his performances in '12 Years a Slave,' 'Hunger' and 'Shame,' he has nothing left to prove. Only an actor of Fassbender's calibre can take 4 years off to follow his driving passions and then come back to immediately work with the likes of Fincher and Taika again when he just feels like it. Lol.
He said in 2016 that he wanted to take a break from acting, since then he started racing, got married and had a kid. So I think he was more concerned with things outside of making films.
My favourite film of Finchers is The Social Network, but I also love Fight Club and Seven. However, my favourite of all of his work is actually the 2 seasons he directed of Mindhunter on Netflix
It was awesome. Felt like the most realistic hitman movie that could be made. How he was using google maps and amazon, misses the very first shot he takes. Fassbender and Swinton scenes was great and the kill of his contractor and fight with the Florida dude were cool as hell.
@@edelmantoamendola A few examples of hitman movies containing similar levels of realism as The Killer (2023): • Murder By Contract • Le Samouraï • The Day of the Jackal • Munich Not saying the listed films above are more realistic than The Killer, but on a similar level of realism; just a different flavor of realism, from a different time, a different place, with different targets, different killers, different styles of cinematography, all different factors equally valid in achieving the feeling of nearing or touching realism. All of these movies are cold and subtle, showing the mundaneness of life, with human flaws and unpredictable details of reality present, along with nervous tension from us as the audience knowing the danger, which is awkwardly yet realistically contrasted by the uneventfulness of the moments up to THE moment, sometimes followed after a calculated murder by that exact same uneventful silence, as though nothing is different in the room as a moment before, which we know that thought to be anything but true. Lots of downtime, the attempted concealing of one's human emotions replaced by sharp focus to be a more steeled and mentally/spiritually prepared assassin, unceremonious violence of unpredictable timing, etc. Thinking this is the most realistic hitman movie of all time, unparalleled in realism by any hitman movie of any decade in the past 100 years is wild.
@@jackelrikuroso3945 eh idk I feel the Equalizer is still amazing but The Killer definitely captured the core essence of what a Hitman adaptation could be. Especially when it has elements like blending in, inner monologues of what someone like him is thinking, precise work, etc
I love Equalizer movies but this was different good if not better 🎉 There's just something about this movie don't know how to say it but Equalizer movies are predictable! like you know what the movie is gonna be about like there are no strange twists or anything and The killer is also the same but not the same at the same time 😂 That's the best I can do here lol
I had an assassin/action movie marathon for my birthday and watched Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning, John Wick Chapter 4, and the Killer. I was starting to get a little action fatigued by the time I hit this one, so it was a nice change of pace and a pretty awesome film to close out my night. Fasbender was brilliant in the role (very underappreciated actor), there were lots of great shots, and Fincher really knows how to dial in the tension with certain sequences. I also found that the slow burn accentuated the kills because the transition felt so abrupt and visceral; it kind of catches you off guard. Would definitely recommend this one, but like you said don't go in thinking it's John Wick or you'll be disappointed.
I loved it. Reminds me of movies from the 70s. Watched it without checking my phone. That's the biggest compliment I can give to any media in recent years. 🤓
Excellent and very fair review. Fassbender is a terrific actor, I've never seen him give a bad performance...even if the movie he's in isn't great it's generally worth watching just for him...fortunately this was a good one (in no small part because as you say, it's all about Fassbender...his character/portrayal and every other character is secondary). Not my favourite Fincher movie, that would probably be "The Social Network" but still a goodie ! I know it was a "throw-away comment" but don't dis the Blu-rays ! ;-) a lot of Blu-rays (especially the more modern releases and those that have been remastered in 4K by boutique labels) look almost as good as the actual 4K with decent upscaling equipment and in some cases are better than the 4K version if the 4K transfer wasn't handled so well (some releases over use the DNR and/or change the colour timing etc.). I hope this one gets a physical release as well !
I bought The Killer graphic novel at Powell's in Portland when I was there this past summer and read it in anticipation of the movie coming out. it had a short run at the Drafthouse Theater but before I got there, it came out on Netflix. Fantastically true to the source material, but not burdensomely so. The soundtrack featuring The Smiths was a great touch. Fassbender's character makes a couple of miscalculations but he's so methodical and professional. What was really great was his character arc after he laid out his principles in the beginning and then through the movie had to compromise on so many of them in order to find his humanity.
Michael Fassbender has been one of my favorite actors for a long time and this role hopefully helps more people realize how talented he is. Pun fully intended "he killed it"
Fassbender’s one of those actors that isn’t talked about enough. He subtly dropped one of the best performances of a supervillain ever and then does this. He’s captivating in everything he’s in. If you love Fassbender, its a great reason to watch it
I loved this movie. It seemed like David Fincher going back to his roots. I thought it was a great character study mixed with a nice dose of the ole ultra violence. I will definitely be watching it again. The performance’s were top notch.
I want to be legend to so I'll rank the David Fincher films 1. Fight Club 2. Seven 3. Gone Girl 4. Zodiac 5. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo 6. The Killer 7. Panic Room 8. Benjamin Button 9. The Game 10. Alien 3 11. Social Network (can someone please tell why this one is consider his best)
This movie was okay: 1) intro monologue is mind numbingly long. 2) an assassin with a home life is beyond stupid. See: Robert de niros character in Heat. 3) a billionaire businessman does not eat alone. He does not answer his door.
Probably my favorite film of the year. Actually, it is. Yep. All in on Fassbender in anything, but this was tops. Finchers idea that this movie should make you uneasy with the guy behind you at Home Depot. And it brought me the graphic novel, which is beautifully illustrated. Highly recommend it. Brilliant, and I’m buying it ASAP. 🎵I go about things the wrong way…🎵
The closest thing we'll ever get to a film about Agent 47. I fricking love this film! Tho I agree that there's something missing with the ending. And I wish more films tackled the idea of having a character with an interesting first-person monologue. Honestly think that characters like Frank Castle and Max Payne (obvious if you know the source material for both of these characters) are best depicted with their inner thought processes as part of the ride.
Nah an Agent 47 adaption should be a TV show with a mostly internal monologue.. “For a job like this? You’re gonna need a Silenced Colt.45 and Rubber Ducky” cross between Barry and The Killer
You mentioned a lot about the sound. I watched this with headphones on and when The Killer puts in just the right earbud and we see from his perspective the music was only in the right ear speaker. Amazing attention to detail as always from this director. Bravo!
1. Social Network 2. Fight Club 3. Zodiac 4. SEVEN 5. Mindhunters 6. Gone Girl 7. The Game 9. Munk 10. Girl with Dragon Tattoo 11. Alien 3 assembly cut 12. Panic room I will have my legend status by mail if possible.
I've really lost my patience for films that subvert your expectations but this film turning out to be a comedy about a bumbling robot was one of the best surprises of the year.
A Critical Analysis of The Killer: A Thriller Film by David Fincher The Killer is a 2023 thriller film directed by David Fincher and starring Michael Fassbender as a nameless assassin who goes on a revenge spree after a botched hit. Based on a graphic novel by Alexis Nolent, the film is a sleek and stylish exploration of the mind of a cold-blooded killer who lives by a strict code of rules and rituals. The film also features Arliss Howard, Charles Parnell, and Tilda Swinton in supporting roles. In this essay, I will examine the film’s plot, themes, aesthetics, and performance, and evaluate its strengths and weaknesses as a cinematic work. Plot The film opens with a long and meticulous sequence that shows the assassin preparing and executing a hit in Paris. He spends days observing his target, a wealthy businessman, from a hotel room across the street. He carefully plans his escape route, disguises himself as a German tourist, and listens to The Smiths on his headphones. He finally takes the shot, but misses and hits an innocent bystander instead. He realizes that he has been set up and flees the scene. He returns to his home in the Dominican Republic, where he finds his partner dying from a gunshot wound. He learns that someone has betrayed him and sent a clean-up crew to eliminate him. He decides to break his own rules and seek revenge on those who wronged him. He travels to various locations, such as New York, London, and Berlin, where he tracks down and kills the people involved in the conspiracy. Along the way, he encounters various obstacles and enemies, such as corrupt cops, rival hitmen, and a mysterious woman who claims to know his identity. The plot of the film is simple and straightforward, but also engaging and suspenseful. The film does not rely on twists or surprises, but rather on the execution and the tension of the scenes. The film also balances the action and the drama, as the assassin’s quest for revenge is also a journey of self-discovery and redemption. The film does not provide much background or motivation for the characters, but rather lets the audience infer them from their actions and dialogues. The film also leaves some questions unanswered, such as the identity of the mastermind behind the conspiracy, the origin of the assassin’s code, and the fate of the mysterious woman. This adds to the mystery and ambiguity of the film, and invites the audience to form their own interpretations and opinions. Themes The film explores several themes, such as morality, identity, fate, and empathy. The film questions the morality of the assassin’s profession, as well as his own sense of right and wrong. The film shows that the assassin is not a mindless or heartless killer, but rather a complex and conflicted human being who has his own code of ethics and values. The film also shows that the assassin is not immune to the consequences of his actions, as he faces guilt, remorse, and regret for some of his kills. The film also challenges the assassin’s identity, as he is constantly changing his appearance, name, and location. The film suggests that the assassin does not have a true or stable identity, but rather a series of masks and roles that he assumes. The film also implies that the assassin is searching for his true self, as he tries to uncover the truth behind his betrayal and his past. The film also examines the role of fate and chance in the assassin’s life, as he believes that fate is a placebo and that he is in control of his own destiny. The film shows that the assassin’s fate is not predetermined, but rather influenced by his choices and actions. The film also shows that the assassin’s fate is also affected by random and unpredictable events, such as the missed shot, the betrayal, and the encounter with the woman. The film also explores the concept of empathy, as the assassin forbids himself from feeling or expressing any emotion or compassion for his victims or anyone else. The film shows that the assassin’s lack of empathy is a defense mechanism that protects him from the pain and suffering that his job entails. The film also shows that the assassin’s lack of empathy is also a weakness that isolates him from the rest of humanity and prevents him from forming any meaningful relationships. The film also shows that the assassin’s empathy is not completely absent, but rather suppressed and hidden. The film reveals that the assassin does care for his partner, his mentor, and the woman, and that he does feel some remorse and sympathy for some of his victims. The film’s themes are relevant and compelling, as they reflect on the human condition and the moral dilemmas that people face in their lives. The film’s themes are also universal and timeless, as they deal with the fundamental questions of who we are, what we do, and why we do it. The film’s themes are also nuanced and subtle, as they do not offer any clear or definitive answers, but rather provoke the audience to think and question their own beliefs and values. Aesthetics The film’s aesthetics are impressive and distinctive, as they showcase Fincher’s mastery of the thriller genre. The film creates a tense and immersive atmosphere with its meticulous attention to detail, stunning cinematography, and atmospheric music. The film’s attention to detail is evident in the realistic and elaborate depiction of the assassin’s preparation, execution, and escape of the hits. The film’s attention to detail is also evident in the use of symbols and motifs, such as the color red, the number 13, and the Smiths songs, that add layers of meaning and significance to the film. The film’s cinematography is remarkable, as it uses various techniques, such as long shots, tracking shots, zooms, and slow motion, to enhance the mood and the impact of the scenes. The film’s cinematography is also remarkable, as it uses different color palettes, lighting, and filters, to create contrast and variety among the different locations and settings of the film. The film’s music is fitting, as it uses a combination of original score and licensed songs, to create a sense of rhythm and emotion in the film. The film’s music is also fitting, as it uses the Smiths songs, which are known for their melancholic and morbid lyrics, to reflect the assassin’s personality and state of mind. The film’s aesthetics are effective and appealing, as they draw the audience into the film’s world and make them feel the thrill and the drama of the film. The film’s aesthetics are also consistent and coherent, as they match the film’s tone and theme, and create a sense of unity and harmony in the film. Performance The film’s performance is captivating and convincing, as it features a talented and charismatic cast that brings the film’s characters to life. The film’s performance is mainly dominated by Fassbender, who portrays the assassin as a complex and conflicted character. He conveys the assassin’s professionalism, precision, and detachment, as well as his vulnerability, anger, and loneliness. He makes the audience empathize with a man who kills for a living, but also questions his own morality and identity. He delivers some memorable lines, such as “Fate is a placebo” and “Forbid empathy”, that reveal his philosophy and psychology. He also displays a range of emotions and expressions, such as calmness, frustration, sadness, and rage, that show his inner turmoil and struggle. He also demonstrates his physical skills and agility, as he performs various stunts and fights, that show his competence and prowess. He also exhibits his charm and charisma, as he interacts with various characters, such as the woman, the mentor, and the rival, that show his personality and style. He also shows his versatility and adaptability, as he changes his appearance, accent, and demeanor, that show his disguise and deception. He also shows his chemistry and rapport, as he forms a bond and a conflict with the woman, that show his attraction and tension. He also shows his humor and irony, as he listens to the Smiths songs, that show his taste and sarcasm. The film’s performance is also enhanced by the supporting cast, who play the secondary characters that influence and challenge the assassin. Howard plays the mentor, who is the assassin’s former boss and friend, who teaches him the rules and the rituals of the profession, and who betrays him and sets him up for the failed hit. Howard plays the mentor as a cunning and ruthless character, who manipulates and exploits the assassin, and who reveals his true motives and intentions at the end. Parnell plays the rival, who is another assassin who works for the same organization as the assassin, and who competes and clashes with him for the same targets and contracts. Parnell plays the rival as a cocky and arrogant character, who taunts and provokes the assassin, and who tries to kill him and take his place. Swinton plays the woman, who is a mysterious and enigmatic character, who claims to know the assassin’s identity and history, and who helps and hinders him in his quest for revenge. Swinton plays the woman as a mysterious and enigmatic character, who intrigues and confuses the assassin, and who reveals her connection and involvement with him at the end. The film’s performance is outstanding and admirable, as it showcases the actors’ skills and talents, and makes the film’s characters believable and memorable. The film’s performance is also dynamic and diverse, as it features a variety of characters and personalities, and creates a sense of contrast and conflict in the film.
Loved it! Fincher is a storytelling hero of mine and my top three favourite movies were written by Andrew Kevin Walker: Seven, Sleepy Hollow and of course 8MM. What a bold choice to make the movie the way they did. It deserves all the admiration.
I thought The Killer was very very good. However, since you asked to rank David Fincher's films.. here ya go (IMHO): 1: Curious Case of Benjamin Button 2: Seven: 3: Fight Club 4: Gone Girl 5: The Game 6: Alien 3 7: The Social Network 8: The Killer 9: Zodiac 10: Panic Room 11: The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo This order can change for me depending on the day but here it is on this day. I haven't watched Mank yet but its on my list. LOVE Fincher's films.

I loved it. Yes, it´s slow. Yes it´s anticlimatic. But this is to John Wick what Drive is to the Fast & Furious films. Really great.
Spoiler: When you say anticlimactic, do you mean because he didn't kill the guy at the end? I thought it was great. It was perfectly explained by the killer before that scene. That the guy was just to high value of a target to not bring allot of trouble if he killed him. And once he realized the guy wasn't this disgruntled millionaire who wanted to kill the guy who "screwed up", but just a guy who wanted to cover his ass and didn't really know what all that entailed, the killer no longer saw him as a continuous threat and the people who were to blame he had already killed. So not worth the amount of trouble that would follow killing him. I thought it was great, that made the killer look smart and not just this killing machine that killed without thought.

@@NikstSWE You are probably right but, I mean, he had killed everyone before that, even the poor cab driver, and when he got to the big boss.... nothing? But I still love the film, one of my favorites of the year.
@ But that was the thing, turned out he really wasn't the big boss. He was just a client that asked for the "insurance" of no blowback without really thinking about what it meant. I really loved the movie as well. One of those I kept thinking about after it was over and it grew even more on me.
Great to see David Fincher make another movie. This one sounds worth a watch as a great movie shouldn't always have to rely on heavy doses of action throughout. A slowburn makes for a fun change of pace.
Love your videos! Shame you're recommending the Fleet Command game, it's addictive enough to need to be weaned off of. Advancement happens so slowly that you need to address it extremely often to progress (progression can take months), unless you pay out of pocket to speed up the time it takes to build. This results in training you to look at it way too much to keep you engaged. To anyone who hasn't played it but intends to: please don't. For your own sake!

I spoke with a colleague of work about this movie, and he told me this is the perfect HITMAN adaptation, and I gotta agree. By the way, Michael Fassbender was on a long break due to his focus on racing, he took part on the 24 hs of Le Mans
Tilda Swinton even in her small role made such a huge impression, she didn't even have much to do... she just talked for 5 minutes and walked for 2 minutes. Can you imagine 5 to 7 minutes of screentime and still having such a huge impact.
@@baseballman4958 everyone to their own I guess, maybe I'm just biased towards her... she seemed great to me with whatever limited script and sceeentime she got... that's why I said what I said.

Its really bizzare that Michael Fassbender has never been in a David Fincher movie before this. Hes one of those actors that just feels natural for his style, like hes done this 100 times.
David Fincher's cinematographer Erik Messerschmidt said a similar thing, he said that they worked perfectly together and had almost the same feelings and ideas about the film.
Actually just finished it. And I have nothing to add. Nice change of pace with the slow burn, still held my interest for the whole time and the ending was interesting. Solid 8/10.
@@cptpepper7731 you’re saying nothing man… this happens with any film with mixed reception. It’s like saying “the abundance of the word masterpiece is tiring” some use these terms liberally, some use it because it’s genuinely applicable. Instead you make smartass comments to people being genuine, making yourself look like a clown.
Micheal Fassbender is such an incredible actor, and this just reminds me why, his narration and monolgues here are just top notch. as for my rankings: 1) Social Network 2) Fight Club 3) Zodiac 4) Se7en 5) Gone Girl 6) The Game 7) Girl with the Dragon Tattoo 8) Panic Room This movie would probably be between Gone Girl and Se7en for me, I quite enjoyed it Edit: 9) Alien 3 forgot to add Alien 3 haha, always forget its a Fincher film, but yea man so much wasted potential on that one, the setting seemed like if Fincher had more creative control it could have turned out really great.
I didn't like Zodiac that much. Probably because I knew how it ends before I saw it. I know that's not the point, but still.. I would rate Se7en much higher. I do agree that Panic Room is the weakest. Or maybe Alien 3 not sure
ah thanks for reminding me@@LuisSierra42 , totally forget about them. I haven't seen Mank as I wasn't really interested, and Alien 3 I just forgot to add to my list, updated it now but would be around the same level or below Panic Room
First time I've disagreed with you. The first 30 minutes was so boring and the payoff wasn't worth it. Maybe you just have to have certain mindset when you watch it.
I just realized I've been watching this yt channel for a few years and never subscribed. Whoops... I fixed that though today! Thank you for all the great videos Jeremy!!!

Great review! You have good energy! I also liked the movie... especially the beginning and that fight scene. When the cutip almost ordered the ice cream, I thought that was a code for military back up. Nope. She was simply killed. It all went downhill from there, in my humble opinion. Still, I give it a lot of points especially since I was born in Florida and raised in the DR and in Chicago. They filmed in all my favorite places!

@@Rick_Dalton18just because someone doesn't like a slow paced movie, it doesn't make them marvel lovers. David fincher is my all time favorite director and this is the only movie of him I didn't like that much. I mean I liked it better than most movies we see nowadays but for a David fincher movie it's such a let down 😢
@@priyanshrawat442 because I didn’t like a movie that took an hour to show action? A movie called KILLER. Great performances, poor pacing. A movie with no promo whatsoever to explain what the movie was about. They just shock dropped it, so then you watch the trailer and it looks action packed and then you watch the movie and have to wait 45 for someone to miss a shot. Lol and then wait another 30 minutes for more action. Lol this movie wasn’t great just because the producers are great producers.
The Band you here throughout the movie is called “The Smiths” and the ambient noises you here throughout the movie are done by Trent Reznor and my fav fincher movie is of course “Fight Club”
Why does this year in particular feel like it flew by so fast? *EVERYBODY* says this. Every time I'm having a conversation about planning something, or setting an appointment, or anything date related, the first thought on the tip of everybody's tongue is "I *cannot* believe it's (current month) already." I know time flies. Especially as you get older. But this year feels different, and not just for older folks, but for everybody. What happened? Did the covid years just throw off our internal clocks? Are we all just anxious wrecks now and time flies when you're an anxious wreck? Did the entire universe down to the atom double in speed, and we only have a vague intuitive awareness of it? Is the Matrix running at 1.5x speed? What is going on?
It provided a bit of a challenge, but here's my ranking of David Fincher's films: 1. Seven 2. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo 3. Gone Girl 4. Fight Club 5. The Social Network 6. Zodiac 7. The Killer 8. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 9. Alien 3 10. The Game 11. Panic Room 12. Mank
Yeah my daughter doesn't have an inner monologue. She has something called Aphantasia, and so does Penn from Penn & Teller. It's super rare, and basically, it means the person cannot imagine anything in their head or have an inner monologue. I know, I was blown away when the doctor told me about it. Nice review btw Jeremy!
Haven't seen The Killer yet, but it's my most anticipated film, and has been since I saw its listing on Letterboxd. My ranking for the rest of the Fincher films I have seen: 1. SE7EN 2. Gone Girl 3. Zodiac 4. Fight Club 5. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo I predict The Killer will find itself in number three.
I've only seem a portion of Fincher's filmography, once for each entry, and most of them the first time earlier this month, but my ranking is: 6 - The Curious Case of Benjamin Button 5 - Mank 4 - The Social Network 3 - Se7en 2 - The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo 1 - The Killer
I couldnt disagree more. I felt like every aspect of this movie was plodding and phoned in for a check. Nothing about this was engaging and everything about it felt empty. To each their own but this did not connect with me at all. Really bummed out about it because Fincher is fantastic, this however was not. It felt like Besson after Fifth Element, Speilberg after Saving Private Ryan or Scorcese after The Wolf of Wallstreet, past their prime with nothing to really say, but still cashing that check on the good graces of their past successes.
After stewing over this movie for a few days, I finally decided I loved it. Edge of my seat the ENTIRE TIME. You were absolutely on point with the sound. I found most of it unnerving. It helped set the tone.
Ranking the Fincher films I've seen. The Social Network (2010) Gone Girl (2014) Se7en (1995) Zodiac (2007) Fight Club (1999) The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008) Mank (2020) I should probably give Mank another chance though, when I watched it I really just wasn't in the headspace for the kind of movie it is.
