A NF movie with Michael Fassbender as a hit man who screws up a job and has to deal with the fall out of that. It's taught and tight thriller that's got great visuals and action scenes. It's unique in that it's mostly first person POV with a voice over, and it's well done, similar to Fight Club, made by the same director BTW. The real problem with this movie is that that there's literally no character development for either the MC nor any of the others, so you never care about anyone enough to be invested in what happens to any of them. It's a slick well made thriller that had a lot of potential, but falls short of being great, vs merely good. I did appreciate it's not over the top cartoonish nonsense like John Wick and others in the actions scenes, and not too many eye rolling moments for the "gun guys" watching, so credit to the movie for that. The soundtrack is retro and fun too. Worth a view on NF. B+
PS added for members/gun guy specific: one potentially massive eye rolling aspect of that movie was it appeared to me he was using comps vs cans on the guns, but I was not 100% sure of it. Maybe a brand of suppressor with ribs that make it look like a comp? It was consistent in the movie as he changes guns. It was the only real "WTF?" moments I had.
