I can’t recall the last time I saw a movie as purposefully off-putting, as pointedly hollow, as The Killer

I think "The Killer" is a self-reflexive tour de force about its own marginalization as just more grist for the content mill. Its hollowness is by design. As the tagline for one Fincher film went, "the feel bad movie of the year."

It’s as if Fincher said, “you guys wanted content? Here’s some content.” Then, when you asked if you might have some meaning with that, he just smiled and walked away.
