The Killer (2023)
3/10
Seriously flawed plot killed the movie

Something is series wrong about this movie. I could not figure out why until a couple of hours after watching it while multitasking. The plot simply doesn't make sense. It's a simple story. A professional killer had a rare miss and his client agreed to a "clean-up" with the agency to eliminate the traces of assassination attempt of an important figure. So what was the clean-up? Beating and torturing of the killer's girlfriend by two professionals. What kind of clean-up is this? The best way of silencing a bear is to kill it. Instead, they decided to poke the bear's left eye. What a great strategy that nobody else can really think of.

This series plot flaw made the movie felt really stupid. The end is really stupid too. It has something to do with the main character, the killer.

Also, the main character doesn't feel like a real human, more like a imperfect robot. He has no relatable emotions. He is very calculated. I guess it makes sense because in this dangerous business you have to be cold and calculated to survive for a long-time. But in the end, he let go of the billionaire client and left him with a threat of potentially coming back and killing him. It's a billionaire who is capable of hiring a dozen killers like him to kill him and remove the threat. Why would he let him go and leave a threat? Pure stupidity.

Overall this is a pretentious movie with one of the most stupid plot ever. What a waste.
