Review by NicOldert

The first 15 minutes gives one hope that this is going to be a great movie with interesting character development, some insight into the mind of an assassin, the cold-blooded killing machine too often portrayed in movies as a cipher (the relentless killer, a trope, is invariable a person lacking certain all-too-human characteristics). And then, unfortunately, the lead character turns into just another formulaic relentless killer. The fact that he finally finds himself unable to suppress a certain vengeafulness is mildly interesting, but character development essentially stops about a third of the way through. After that you might as well be watching Vin Diesel. It's a pity, because Michael Fassbender and David FIncher could have done so much more with this.
