David Fincher's "The Killer" Starring Michael Fassbender Launches on Netflix Amid Positive Reviews

Fincher's Return to form with "The Killer" Stimulates Critique on Modern Gig Economy, Fueled by Fassbender's Compelling Performance

David Fincher's film 'The Killer,' starring Michael Fassbender, has been launched on Netflix and is receiving positive reviews. The film is based on a French graphic novel of the same name.
The film's plot revolves around an obsessively meticulous hitman, played by Fassbender, who suffers a career downfall after missing his target for the first time.
The film is perceived as a 'return to form' for Fincher, becoming his first gritty thriller since the critical success of his Hollywood biopic 'Mank.'
'The Killer' engages with commentary on modern consumer culture, particularly the impersonal aspects of the gig economy, portraying the protagonist's trade as another mundane everyday job.
The film is set in a modern context, depicting the hitman as an ordinary person who uses everyday tools and conveniences like Apple Watches and Amazon lockers to perform his job. His unremarkable lifestyle is perceived as a critique on late-stage capitalism.
