David Fincher finally finds Netflix success: How to watch 'The Killer'
David Fincher’s first Netflix film may have semi-flopped on the streamer — the black-and-white biopic Mank only spent one day in Netflix’s top 10 title list, in the very last slot — but this time around, he has an undeniable hit on his hands with the new hitman thriller The Killer. Fincher’s first psychological thriller in nearly a decade landed on Netflix this weekend, and shot straight to the No. 1 spot. Based on a French graphic novel of the same name, Fincher’s new neo-noir film stars Michael Fassbender as a methodical, unfeeling assassin who, after making a mistake on the job, has to work against the very people he once worked for. Ready to see what all the buzz is about? Here’s what you need to know about David Fincher’s The Killer.
