Stylistically it's classic David Fincher with heavy handed nods to Fight Club including the almost constant internal dialogue of the protagonist. However the internal dialogue in Fight Club is entertaining but in The Killer it's simply repeating the same protentious mantras about only fighting the battles you are paid to fight and a warning against empathy. I wouldn't say it's boring but it is repetitive. Fastbender does a decent job but his character isn't very likable and there isn't much action, there's only one fight scene and that mainly takes place in the dark. I don't mind the slow burner approach however there has to be a pay off at the end but The Killer's ending is a huge damp squib.
