Michael Fassbender plays a hired killer who looks like he is on a perpetual golfing holiday.
The Killer is a professional hitman with a fetish for the statistics of his trade and firm ideas about methods of camouflage. His habitual outfit is inspired by his observations of German tourists at leisure. Except for the Hawaiian shirt, he’s a study in beige. Moving through the world between hits, he looks as if he’s on a perpetual golfing holiday.
The film is an adaptation of a French graphic novel by Mantz Nolent and illustrator Luc Jacamon scripted by Andrew Kevin Walker, who’s been a regular Fincher collaborator since they first worked together in 1995 on the highly disturbing thrillerThis script conjures up a similar atmosphere of unease although the moments of bleakly sardonic humour underlying the violence are new and probably owe a lot to the deadpan matter-of-factness of the comic book.
The plot is spread across a broad and scenic canvas. His next stop is the Dominican Republic where he has a luxurious bolthole in the forest. Rival assassins, however, have got there before him and his girlfriend has been so badly beaten that his old rules about pragmatism and objectivity suddenly become irrelevant and his urge for revenge means killing is no longer a job. It’s a mission.
