‘The Killer’ Trailer: Michael Fassbender Has A Score To Settle In David Fincher’s Hitman Thriller

Any time David Fincher drops a new movie, it’s an event. And lately, those events are happening with Netflix. Following Fincher’s historical biopic Mank, he returns to familiar territory with Killer, a hitman thriller that’s actually in select theaters as of today.

Michael Fassbender stars in the adaptation of Alexis Nolent‘s graphic novel about an elite assassin on the path of vengeance against his employers after a botched job. Fincher reunites with Se7en writer Andrew Kevin Walker, as well as cinematographer Erik Meeserschmidt.

Also in the cast are Tilda Swinton, Charles Parnell, Arliss Howard, Jack Kesy, and Sophie Charlotte.

You can check out my early review here. Fincher brings a lot of high expectations, and this is a plot that’s right in my wheelhouse.

The Killer is in select theaters now, and hits Netflix on November 10th.
