The Killer
David Fincher
Synopsis
After a fateful miss, an assassin battles his employers, and himself, on an international manhunt he insists isn't personal.
Cinematic DNA
The influence of John Woo's The Killer is there, in the way they're shot, the camera's often quite high and swooping.
It's certainly an antihero, but there's a nobility to him that I think in a weird way makes him similar to Alain Delon's character in Jean-Pierre Melville's Le Samouraï.
