David Fincher’s The Killer stars Michael Fassbender as a hitman whose job starts to unravel him after his girlfriend is accidentally attacked by another on the job. This leads him down a path of revenge on par with John Wick as he tries to avenge her and begins to question his morality.It’s hard not to think of another film, American Psycho, as soon as the main character starts his internal monologuing in The Killer. Both movies are satirical adaptations of literature. The comparisons between the unnamed Killer and Patrick Bateman only rise from there.Both The Killer and American Psycho are narrated by their main characters. The viewer gets the movie’s surroundings explained by the biased interpretation of the main character’s worldview through their internal monologues. Viewers know when the character’s honest thoughts don’t match what they are saying to others and when their minds begin to break. Both characters also have an immaculate memory for details and facts, from The Killer’s statistics about how many people are born and die in the same second to justify his killings to Patrick Bateman’s encyclopedic music knowledge.
