‘The Killer’ is looking good. He’s reteaming with his Seven writer, and has Fassbender onboard.

Oh yeah! I’m super excited for that!

Michael Fassbender is a great actor (and hot), but his taste for movies sucks so bad, almost every movies are terrible trash: Assassin's Creed, The Snowman, Prometheus 1&2, The Counselor, Slow West, Macbeth...
You get my point.
It's will be easier to list good movies, the numbers is TWO: X-Men: Days of Future Past, 12 Years a Slave.
80% are terrible, 15% are mediocre (Steve Jobs, A Dangerous Method...)
P.S. Mank is a boring movie too, though it's not the worst movie David Fincher makes, that honor belong to The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
Mank and Button are weird detours for Fincher. Whenever he makes R-rated thrillers he makes gold, and that’s what this is.
Throw Andrew Kevin Walker into the mix and this has a chance to equal or even better Seven.
Fassbender may have had some duds recently but who cares? In the right project with the right director he shines, and there’s every reason to believe he will do so here too.
Not duds "recently" but "always." Fassbender always makes duds.
shareThose are duds because the people behind the camera aren’t good enough, not because Fassbender lacks talent.
With Fincher directing and Walker writing this can’t be a dud by definition.
Fassbender has talent, two talents.
One. He is great actor, I would say the best right now, better than overrate Leonardo DiCaprio, or any actors won Oscars last 15 years. (Plus, he's smoking hot)
Two. He has talent to always choose duds, I never see a actor has that kind of ability to not miss once: 100% duds.
The only two good movies he makes, he's not the main charters. BUT, in The Killer he is the STAR!
A movie studio always make duds (Netflix) + A actor always makes duds (Fassbender) + A director just makes dud (Mank).
I will watch it, but won't have high hope.
Mank was an offbeat passion project that Fincher did to honour his dad, and it’s not actually a bad film, it’s just extremely dull if you’re not interested in the making of Citizen Kane.
But the combination of Fincher and Walker making a thriller is a surefire slam dunk, and the presence of Fassbender only bolsters that.
If Mank fails because "honour his dad," can you explain the reasons behind these fail movies: Benjamin Button, Zodiac, Dragon Tattoo.
And I don't know why you put so much faith on Walker, Seven is a general detective story support by great directing, Sleepy Hollow is ok, and?
I don’t think Mank did fail, it’s a good film but dull for the reasons I explained.
Zodiac is his masterpiece. Dragon Tattoo is excellent. I can’t comment on Button because I haven’t seen it - but it’s not a thriller, when Fincher makes thrillers he makes gold.
I put faith in the combination of Fincher and Walker based on Seven - another excellent Fincher thriller - so it stands to reason that The Killer will follow this trend.
Christ, Zodiac wasn't a failure, its his third best film after Fight Club and Se7en.
shareChrist, you think Zodiac, Fight Club, Seven are his three best movies?
I would agree Fight Club is his best movie, but no The Social Network? His three best movies: Fight Clube, The Social Network, Gone Girl.
It took me ten years and several attempts to finish The Social Network. I don't say its a bad movie, but just not very interesting. I rank it at the bottom with Benjamin Button. Haven't seen Mank.
