THE KILLER now on Netflix

Michael Fassbender

Michael Fassbender’s brooding portrayal of THE KILLER is now on Netflix. Based on Alexis Nolent and Luc Jacamon’s graphic novel of the same name, The Killer follows its unnamed assassin as a botched job propels him into a vendetta that breaks his one rule: never make it personal. Michael Fassbender stars as the titular character, bringing the chilling brutality he so often possesses on screen to its most emotionally detached rendering yet. His assassin is a killing machine, a man whose patience, precision, and physical fitness have made him perfect for his job.

THE KILLER review

Michael Fassbender

Straight from it’s World Premiere at Venice Film Festival, THE KILLER is earning highly positive reviews. David Fincher’s horribly addictive samurai procedural, adapted by Andrew Kevin Walker from the graphic novel by Alexis Nolent, stars Michael Fassbender as the un-named titular hitman: an ascetic who in the movie’s sensationally low-key opening sequence tells us about dealing with the job’s biggest challenge: boredom. THE KILLER will be released in October in US and UK cinemas and is released on 10 November on Netflix.

Fassbender heads to Venice Film Festival

Michael Fassbender

David Fincher returns to the Venice Film Festival with his Michael Fassbender-starring THE KILLER, more than 20 years after his cult hit FIGHT CLUB sharply divided the festival’s critics. The film follows a cold-blooded assassin who begins to have a psychological crisis in a world with no moral compass. Netflix teased: “Solitary, cold, methodical, and unencumbered by scruples or regrets, a killer waits in the shadows, watching for his next target. Yet, the longer he waits, the more he thinks he’s losing his mind, if not his cool.” The film is slated to debut on Netflix November 10.
