There is something ever so gently unhinged in this lean, crisp action film that doubles as an arthouse character study. Read full review

The Killer is an opportunity for America’s most stylish director to reboot, to get back to basics, to come in under two hours. Read full review

If The Killer is chilly-to-the-touch and anchored by a quiet and intensely physical performance by Fassbender, the filmmakers nevertheless wring an awful lot of wit from this frigid world. Read full review

The Killer is a gorgeously sterile, de-romanticized riff on the likes of Jean-Pierre Melville’s Le Samourai (which notably features a near-silent assassin) and countless other hit-man movies, peppered with sideswipes at capitalism. Read full review
