3 Biggest Takeaways From The New Trailer of David Fincher’s “The Killer”

the killer

 

 

Here’s the synopsis of the movie for those of you like myself who couldn’t find any plot in that trailer:

A professional. A man of few scruples, nerves of steel, and a steady trigger finger, but also, a man on the verge of cracking.

After misadventures in Central and South America and having earned enough money to retire comfortably, the Killer retires to Mexico, but his colleagues are still in need of his irreplaceable skills . . . and before long he’s drawn back into the great geopolitical game between Cuba, Venezuela, and the United States.

What did we learn from The Killer trailer:

1. Michael Fassbender finally picked a good one

Michael Fassbender is one of the greatest actors on planet Earth right now but no one would know it because his agent will send any bullshit script into his email inbox and Fassbender will say yes.

Instead of doing another Assassin’s Creed or The Snowman or Pooppoopfartfart III, Fassbender is joining forces with David Fincher and maybe Fassbender will finally star in a movie that makes sense from beginning to end and doesn’t look like it was filmed on an iPhone 5.

Stick to the plan. Stick to the plan. Stick to the plan.

2. David Fincher and Netflix reunion

Mindhunter is one of the greatest shows of all time and we have been robbed of more seasons thanks to the unlucky combination of Netflix refusing to give expensive shows more than 2-3 seasons and David Fincher not really wanting to do TV anymore.

I was going to say Fincher does his best work with Netflix but lol, Fincher does his best work every time he does work. Plus, Trent Reznor is working on the score.

That Social Network score still plays in my head.

Fuck Mark Zuckerberg.

3. Dad movies BACK

With everyone talking about Barbie and Oppenheimer this year, we forgot about an entire market that has been ignored for years now: dads who put on action movies to nap through on Saturday afternoons when they’re done doing the yard work.

It’s hard out here for dads. You get shit on at work then you get home and have to like, spend time with your loved ones. Yuck.

The only peace dads have is that two-hour block when Baby Driver or Edge of Tomorrow or Lucy or now The Killer is on the TV and they can fade in and out of intense action sequences and deep sleep.

Something about machine gun fire that is soothing to the dad brain.

 

I’ll see everyone November 10th. Let’s watch The Killer.
