The Killer movie review

 "To be or not to be, to be many or the few" - Fincher explores this question in his films. This time, using the charismatic figure of Fassbender, we delve into the thoughts and character of that one percent of lucky ones, free to decide their fate as they please. Yes, it's as if such killers stand above the entire world of ordinary and even ultra-rich people. As if the path to this percent lies precisely through murder. Such a decision, it turns out, defines a person's character. But what do we find? Most of the film we hear the inner monologue of a calculating killer, and there is not even a shadow of doubt in him: the question of "who lives and who dies" is resolved very simply. And even somewhat boringly, there is a mantra that the character repeats to himself over and over, as if convincing himself, killing everything human in himself. Calculation, cold calculation alone, guarantees you a place under the sun in this world. And if you need to knock off a couple of such scoundrels along the way, then it's just a question already resolved. The eternal dilemma for the average person turns out to be cowardice. How to get out into this very "few"? How to become a brave, daring person, and also deftly forge all these document manipulations? The film masterfully shows all these manipulations, so that the viewer gets true pleasure from the quality of the work done. No doubt about it: this is the only way not to become mediocrity. So what do we discover in the head of this person? Actually, nothing. No human qualities, not even an internal dilemma. Only once do we hear a voice, or rather, a timid little voice in the form of Tilda Swinton, suggesting that sometimes you can think about whether we are doing the right thing. And even such a figure the director twists mercilessly, dryly, without going into details. The film leaves the impression that the world is ruled only by the laws of force and nothing more. He who is stronger is right. Honestly, you expect a deeper analysis from the director of "Fight Club" and "Zodiac". What's the point of such a straightforward conclusion from a seasoned master of mysteries?"
