The Killer
The Killer. Really quick titles, kinda mediocre, and kinda unreadable. Anti Kyle Cooper, it doesn't really get the information to me. But like with Poor Things I don't really need to read all the titles, just IMDB it.
Interesting VO. Annie Oakley jobs. Haha. A little Fight Clubby in it's intro to character. I like the explanation of craft a bit. It's a little indulgent, but I'm always a sucker for this kinda thing.
Travel documents as Felix Unger, Archibald Bunker is hilarious.
Does he listen to The Smiths because Smith is a commonly accepted alias?
Oscar Madison credit card. Howard Cunningham ticket. Sitcom crazy. Rueben Kinkaid, from the Partridge Family. Lou Grant. Sam Malone. George Jefferson. Robert Hartley is Bob Newhart. I could go with this gag forever, it's classic Fincher.
Very Cold film. Killers are cold, psychotic people.
Anticipate don't improvise is a mantra you should try and stick to, but only if you can improvise.
Tilda Swinton rolls up into this and does a great job. Go figure, she's really good at this. One of the greatest actors of her generation.
SubPop T-shirt on client. Chuckle.
So much of this is in our hero's head. So much just him being little recognizable as he passes through the world. It's a small, cool film from the best director of his generation. Right on David Fincher. Enjoyed this. Recommend. Streaming on Netflix.
