So many inconsistencies as mentioned previously in the thread, but I found the credit card aliases to be so over the top as to be unbelievable. Profoundly pedestrian. Disappointing after an interesting beginning.

Good not great movie. Thought the fight scene where he was in Florida was good. HATED the ending. Not sure why exactly he spared the guy. Loved all the song by The Smiths in the movie.
I enjoyed but not dying for a rewatch any time soon. Not Fincher's best which is fine because he has some great ones.

He's not trying to convince us, he's trying to convince himself. He's not very good at his job, and he's not very good at sticking to his rules.
I interpreted much of this movie as funny.
Not among Fincher's best, but I found it to be a well-paced and highly entertaining 2 hours.

Anyone notice Tilda Swinton told the same joke David Koechner told on Norm Macdonald live?

We don’t get another season of Mindhunter so that David Fincher has enough time to work on this boring crap?

Guy pays xtra $$ and secret organization sends multiple assassins to kill the gf of the not so effective killer. That job is also botched.
Why the gf? Who knows???
When he was heading home, he changed his mind at the last minute and did not get on the plane. The gf was the only one home when the two assassins got there.

Yes. So you wait like a good assassin should.

man so true. This movie just pisses me off more and more the longer this thread goes.

Wasn’t for me. Too heavy on narrative exposition in the beginning. I may try again, but it couldn’t maintain my attention.

Filmed in New Orleans?

Movie was meh.
Not that it matters but the “silencer” he had on his Glock was just a muzzle brake and that annoyed the shite out of me.

Agreed. The internal monologue was big on trying to convince us that the killer is emotionless, but all of his kills are revenge for an attempted murder (one that aligns with the consequences of the job). And then, adding insult to injury, he spares a guy for no reason.
He wasn't killing just for revenge. He was killing for assurance. He didn't want the threat of being assassinated hanging over his head.
He didn't kill the client at the end because he knew that the client was scared shitless, and also oblivious. He didn't think that he was culpable enough to kill him. He gave him the threat, and was confident that no one at the top would be coming for him after that.

Most of it was filmed in nola (including the Paris “we work office” set and fight scene set)
Some exterior location work in Paris, DR and Chicago

Narrative exposition delivers information to the audience. That's not what the narration is doing.

This movie did a flat out horrible job of communicating what the hell was going on. I had to go on Wikipedia to read who and what are connected to everything going on.

Just watched and it and liked it. The pacing was decent considering the narration. Felt more like a foreign film of old. One death that happened too soon, storage wars crack, and the keys on the janitor were nice touches. I used my imagination with the Dominican Republic hideout fight scene we didn't get to see. In my mind it was cool. I mean she survived. If Tilda Swinton was the hitwoman instead I still might have watched it. Maaaybe...

Boring tedious movie.
Huge waste of talent.
Poor pacing, and outrageous over-narration.
I would say it’s worth a single viewing, but it really isn’t.
Proceed with caution.
3.5/10

So a billionaire (unlimited resources), who has already employed hitmen to take out a target, isn't "culpable enough" to come for the killer, but a lowly taxi driver isn't worth the risk?
