Summary

For this week's second podcast review, I am joined by Brendan Hodges & Giovanni Lago. Today, we are reviewing the newest film from director David Fincher, "The Killer," starring Michael Fassbender, Arliss Howard, Charles Parnell, Kerry O'Malley, Sala Baker, Sophie Charlotte & Tilda Swinton. Reuniting with screenwriter Andrew Kevin Walker ("Seven"), this adaptation of the graphic novel for Netflix is darkly funny and a perfect match of material toward Fincher's meticulous and precise sensibilities as a filmmaker. What did we think of its tone, writing, direction, action scenes, Fassbender's reserved performance, and more? Please tune in to find out all of this and about its awards prospects in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you, and enjoy! Check out more on NextBestPicture.com Please subscribe on...
