I finally decided to put Netflix account to use while traveling on the road for work. I was in search for a good movie to watch and came across a great one in the movie The Killer. It’s an Netflix original that came out a few years ago, and probably the best movie they’ve done. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.
The Killer is a movie about an assassin. He takes bounties for rich people and throughout the movie you see that The Killer is really good at his job. Although he’s as good as he is at killing, even the best have their off days, and the killer ends up having to do some clean up throughout the movie as a result of an assassination attempt gone bad. He uses his skills to protect himself and loved ones in some epically creative ways while destroying his enemies one by one.
The movie The Killer is formatted in a really cool way. The main character gives you a bit about what it takes to be an assassin, explains the rules, takes you through his process then shows how he uses everything explained in the beginning of the movie to be effective as an assassin.
The Killer is a badass no nonsense guy that’s all about the task at hand. He’s not a good guy, but I wouldn’t call him a villain either. Just a guy dedicated to his job which requires a ton of focus and attention to details. He’s a well oiled killing machine with no mercy for anyone who opposes him in the slightest way. And although The Killer does some messed up stuff throughout the movie, I found myself rooting for him as a fellow badass.
Overall, The Killer is an amazing action adventure film. Netflix did a really good job making a movie for men with some edge to it. I haven’t watched a ton of their platform exclusives but I don’t see them making a lot of movies better than The Killer. The movie has a solid story, a cool character, and is just a fun movie to watch. I rate the movie The Killer
