Straight away the lone killer doing weird stuff in a creepy room while he narrates some strange philosophy in the background felt like something I'd seen a hundred times before.
He was pretty boring as a character and none of his victims were particularly interesting either.
That fight scene in the house was pretty cool though, and maybe was the best part of the film. But even then they cheated a bit doing that fighting in the darkness trick.
Then at the end he spares the guy because ???
I think I'm mostly just tired of that character type. Edgy emotionless killer who for some reason always needs to be narrating. Nightcrawler was a cool film about a psychopath. They should make more like that instead.
I'm surprised that it has 86% on RT. Although then again it does seem like one of those films that critics score highly because they wanna believe it's good, and indeed David Fincher usually makes good stuff, but not this time.
