A man solitary and cold, methodical and unencumbered by scruples or regrets, the killer waits in the shadows, watching for his next target. And yet the longer he waits, the more he thinks he's losing his mind, if not his cool. A brutal, bloody and stylish noir story of a professional assassin lost in a world without a moral compass, this is a case study of a man alone, armed to the teeth and slowly losing his mind.
If you're looking for a movie with a well developed and deep plot, or actually any plot at all, you can already stop reading the review. However, if you're not that picky, you can stick with me for just a little bit more. The movie barely has any dialogue; most of it is just narration by our "Killer" and I quite liked that aspect. Although that might sound boring, Michael Fassbender's tone of narration alongside the action that's going on the screen makes it pretty entertaining and different. Also, his performance in this movie was pretty storng and significant.
This movie, which is based on the French graphic novel that holds the same name, lacks a strong plot and story. Its just stages our killer has to do before doing his job...killing. There are many good intense scenes that I really enjoyed during the movie but at the same time there are many that are very slow based. However, I personally didn't feel any kind of boredom in those scenes but I definitely understand why some people would. If you're still reading this somehow then I definitely recommend that you watch this film.
Score:7.5/10.
