Episode 36: The Killer

Is THE KILLER David Fincher’s return to form or Fincher’s self-reflexive critique of his own filmmaking habits? Could it be both? The Brothers dig into these questions during a roundtable discussion of Fincher’s latest film, which is currently streaming on Netflix. During the discussion, they also ask whether we should only expect great movies from great auteurs, examine the film’s performances, discuss its critiques of modern society, compare it to film noirs of the past, and celebrate its standout action scene.
