Netflix viewers are raving over David Fincher's gritty neo-noir film as it lands on the streaming service - and hail it their 'favourite movie of the year'

Watched it, twice.
Unusual take on an assassin's mindset.
Very relatable.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] David Fincher's on-screen adaptation of the French graphic novel The Killer has gripped fans and received rave reviews on social media.

The neo-noir R-Rated thriller, which has been in the works since 2007, is modelled on the 1998 French comic book of the same name, by Alex Nolent and artist Luc Jacamon and stars Michael Fassbender as a troubled assassin

It had a limited release in cinemas from 27 October, but just two weeks later, on 10 November, the slow burner was released onto streaming platform Netflix.

Ever since, The Killer has taken social media by storm, with fans deeming it a 'delightful watch' and others considering it their 'favourite movie of the year'.

But such glowing reviews aren't a rarity for Fincher, whose films quickly become cult-classics, such as Fight Club and Zodiac.

#1 Fassbender makes a good Bad Guy.

See David @Prometheus and Covenant.

#2 I loved Fassbender as Magneto and the cyborg in Prometheus. The Killer was very good, very well made and slightly relatable yes. One of the few good films made in these times. Not a hint of wokery was refreshing. Equalizer 3 was nice too, even if totally over the top.

#3 Sounds better than Disney's 10 year extended serious take on Spaceballs.
