The KillerIn Guillermo del Toro’s Eyes
Guillermo del Toro, the visionary filmmaker, who has carved a niche for himself in the film industry with his unique storytelling and imaginative visuals took toX, formerly known as Twitter to give his review onDavid Fincher‘s helmedThe Killer.
With some critics and viewers praising it and others finding it cold, detached, and even boring, Guillermo del Toro has some nice words to say about theMichael Fassbenderstarrer movie.
On his X account, he said that this was the breeziest film he has seen in a long time.
“The Killer is a beautiful Bronson movie if penned by Sartre and filmed by Melville with the briskness of a Siegel. I simply love, love, love when Fincher swings with a mean genre beat. Nimble and clockwork precise and fun.”
He continued:
“The breeziest film I have seen in a long time. It’s great when you can see a film and a movie at the same time.”
The Killer, is Fincher’s return to the genre that birthed his reputation, delving once again into the murky depths of the human psyche. Fincher’s signature visual style is on full display inThe Killer, with each frame meticulously composed and imbued with a palpable sense of unease. While some critics have praised the film’s technical brilliance and exploration of complex themes, others have expressed reservations about its bleakness and lack of empathy for the protagonist.

How Movie Buff React toThe Killer?
The film’s ending is as ambiguous as its protagonist, leaving viewers to ponder the killer’s fate and the lingering impact of his actions.
I saw it last night. I give it a 8/10. It wasn’t the most memorable of David Fincher’s movies, but that isn’t the point.

Very disappointed to watch this movie. Very slow, very simple but not a great storyline. Won’t rate more than 5/10.#thekillerpic.twitter.com/kx2rIhp01z

I was also disappointed. One of Fincher’s weakest works.
