The Killer’s Game
The Killer’s Game
The Killer’s Game: An experienced assassin suffers from a critical illness and gives the order of a kill on himself. At that moment she pressed a button confirming the kill and led to the full-fledged assault of an army of his former colleagues. Which represents another source of hardship.
The Killer’s Game is a film which contains a noticeably giant star Dave Bautista but JJ Perry is not forgetting that Bautista used to be a professional wrestler, who is great at agile and over the top action filled with blood and gore, edge of the eyes perspectives and anime-age cinematic action.
The writer and the plot (which was created by James Coyne Simon Kinberg Rand Ravich and is based on Jay Bonansinga’s novel) also makes sure to include his natural clownishness which he channeled into professional wrestling and later men’s filmography.
They also know that he plays real people and takes and importance disperaging amount of time doing his and all his alternative characters, where they are and fit into the story. In other words, this film is more of a tailor made for Dave Bautista and is successful in doing so.
One can go so far as to say The Killer’s Game does more than your run of the mill action movie involving a trigger happy Army vet looking for a way out of the profession, marry and live life as a normal seeking individual away from the more drab average individuals one imagines marrying to fit into.
Suffering further from never-ending headaches, Dave Bautista’s Joe Flood while out in the field is gradually becoming a weakness but still possesses enough intelligence to assist dancer Maize (Sofia Boutella) in escaping the building after realizing she is being trampled across the room due to the chaos arising from his latest hit.
It is also interesting to depict on all these pages that Joe has been perfectly clean and has done his job, killing only the most scum of the scum and hence further revealing the gentle giant soft heart character construction at the core of the character.
Guided by his harmlessly mocking ‘adopted father’ Zvi Ben Kingsley, whose role in his life would seem to be the only father figure, he persuades Maize to date him. It helps there is an elegant sequence of sweet, romantic moments as well as the assassination sequences, and that things pushing the plot along seamlessly run between and incorporate both elements.
Unlike many typical films however, the film attempts to even make the audience understand emotionally why building such a relationship matters, and even bothering to show how such a relationship is emotionally built even for Maize.
Because of this, it is rather shocking once the hilariously ridiculous pictorial violence comes in, but the slightly concerned method, does not really cue any of such-the eruption of killers with blood and their names splashed on ground or a hit man break dancing or WWE chump draw a McIntyre the fight and shit himself (have a ball with that CM Punk.) The weariness brought about by the constant introduction of such characters is imaginative but unfortunately, most of the time they detract the attention from those characters who matter most.
There is no difficulty in just springing these strange over the top characterizations to the audiences as an ill timed flash before joe is engaged in combat. The biggest loud mouth sniper who went after joe played by Terry Crews is commonly very much on Joe’s neck and though it does get tiresome since the only thing that’s known about the character is having promiscuous women and yelling at his slowbrained chauffeur George Somner.
Over the correspondence of how Joe garnered a bounty of $2 million, there is the reason why Joe got the cult focus and the bounty on his head. The twist is that since his headaches are a part of a progressive neurological disorder that is expected to kill him in a couple of months, it means that his assassination contract is one that he placed on himself due to anger with a certain Pom Klementieff who is a rival only to make sure that he will get the required life insurance that will benefit Maize on his death.
There are two essential things from the experience that participants do share. The evolution of the character may be reflective of something even more personal. In this respect, to why is Joeos fighting back against the assassin, well, this has to do also with doctors appealing to battle onspert. Where it gets priceless shock from the computer Dave Bautista.
Then Joe practices the new methods of self-defense with vengeance and in this sequence Dave Bautista is seen doing all hair rising stunts starting from cutting open the goons with bow & arrow, abusing the goons spinning & banging them to metal objects, plain muscle power, and sword fights inside a castle.
Although the outbreaks of blood have been made so unbelievably feigned that it looks ugly, there are plenty of creative kills. That is not to say there is John Wick level of action in terms of choreography (which the trailers of the film have shown the film as trailing as people would think it wants them to in the trailers), but there is a certain level of knowing how to showcase the assets of a star that fixes a lot of the rough edges.
Though it’s hard to opine on where the film went wrong as it would have easily become one of those white washed assassin escaping from the pressures of being an assassin story, then The Killer’s Game premise is killer. It goes overboard where the straddling over the different tension and the conflicting themes is minimal with deadly accuracy.
