So another movie about empowering women was apparently what we needed, right? But if that doesn’t sound appealing, keep reading. *The Killer* introduces us to a supposed assassin who comes across as gentle and harmless—about as imposing as a plate of mashed potatoes. Still, she does have a punching bag in her apartment, and her handler seems capable enough. It appears the filmmakers tried to compensate for the lead character’s lack of menace by using dark visuals and gritty details. It's like putting a delicate flower among prickly plants, hoping people will somehow confuse them. Predictably, this leads to an unbelievable story that relies heavily on explaining things through dialogue—it might have been successful if it had been presented as a comedy. That’s not to blame the actors; they’re a good group who seem to have been put in roles that don't suit them, likely so the script could explore gender-related themes. The quality of the acting is one of the few positive aspects of this film. Ultimately, no amount of overlooking flaws will make it enjoyable. I can’t help but question why they continue with this approach, especially given that audiences seem to be rejecting these kinds of projects and wanting a return to more straightforward entertainment.
