Review: Based on Alexis Nolent and Lucky Jacamon’s French graphic novel of the same name, director David Fincher serves an engrossing neo-noir experience that requires your complete attention to revel in its impressive nuances and layers. The movie sits strangely yet marvellously between a slow-burn and a high-octane actioner. And with that quality, it’s a subversive outing in this genre. The tonality here is mostly languid, but the narrative is loaded with stunning and sleek visual appeal. 

What strikes one is how the treatment is in sync with the unnamed hitman’s (Michael Fassbender) psyche. His rituals are tediously repetitive, his moods are intense, and his worldview is bleak. But right when it starts to seem a bit heavy, he unleashes merciless and masterful action and assassinations. The actor delivers both with finesse that few who return after a four-year gap (after X-Men: Dark Phoenix) can manage. You can feel his ruthlessness when he says, “My process is purely logistical,” or “Empathy is weakness. Weakness is vulnerability,” yet he goes on a manhunt across the Dominican Republic, New Orleans, Miami, New York, and Chicago after his girlfriend Magdala’s (Sophie Charlotte) attackers.

Fassbender is joined by an able cast, including Charles Parnell as his handler and lawyer Hodges, Kelly O’Malley as Dolores, and Tilda Swinton as the Expert. The tense face-off between Fassbender and Swinton deserves mention.

It’s not every day that you encounter the story of an assassin, but one of the finest aspects of the movie is how it integrates daily foibles — from references to a co-working space to how easy it is to copy key fobs thanks to online shopping or consumerism in general. The film lacks the depth and finesse of Fincher’s other works, such as Fight Club and Se7en, nor is it a fast-paced thriller. However, the quiet confidence, impactful lines, dark philosophies such as ‘fate is a placebo,’ and Erik Messerschmidt’s cinematography will keep you enthralled. All this is enhanced by a soundtrack that includes Portished’s ‘Glory Box’ and The Smiths’ tracks.

Fincher’s craft is on display here as you may not find yourself on the edge of your seat, but your mind will be constantly engaged. This is one of those movies that won’t need you to power through the slowness, even though it does seem a bit odd intermittently.
