Straight from it’s World Premiere at Venice Film Festival, THE KILLER is earning highly positive reviews. David Fincher’s horribly addictive samurai procedural, adapted by Andrew Kevin Walker from the graphic novel by Alexis Nolent, stars Michael Fassbender as the un-named titular hitman: an ascetic who in the movie’s sensationally low-key opening sequence tells us about dealing with the job’s biggest challenge: boredom. THE KILLER will be released in October in US and UK cinemas and is released on 10 November on Netflix.

Netflix teased: “Solitary, cold, methodical, and unencumbered by scruples or regrets, a killer waits in the shadows, watching for his next target. Yet, the longer he waits, the more he thinks he’s losing his mind, if not his cool.” The film is slated to debut on Netflix November 10.
