I am a fan of so many people involved in this movie. That said, I am not a fan of this film.
This is a polished, tight, well written, well acted and BORING movie. The pace is very intentional and I believe the movie accomplished what the filmmakers wanted. But, it was so slow that by the end I wanted to end myself.
Most "hired gun" flicks have some intrigue and periodic adrenaline rushes, to keep you engaged. By the end, I'm thinking, "I could do that." By the end of "The Killer" I was thinking, "why would anyone do that?" The performances were top notch, and it had so much potential. And, they had PLENTY of run time to make it better. It's a perfect film if you need something to watch while you go to sleep, this is NOT a film to help inspire and recruit future killers.
