What critics compared The Killer to
In a detached voice, he reflects on his occupation, reminiscent of Patrick Bateman’s opening monologue from American Psycho (or perhaps The Narrator from Fight Club). “Popeye the Sailor said it best,” he notes. “‘I am what I am.'”
He also religiously listens to the Smiths, and his proclivity for Morrissey and co. is not the only thing that makes him seem like a cousin of "American Psycho's" psycho serial killer and pop music aficionado, Patrick Bateman.
His focus on details to extricate in the edit, plus Fassbender’s casting, evoke memories of The Killer…
The cold-and-calculated version of Michael Fassbender we’ve come to enjoy from the likes of The Killer beats his ranter-and-raver persona for this lead role.
Will also touches on Fassbender’s continued hot streak post-The Killer.
George speaks with a posh, sophisticated tone and even evokes David in Prometheus and his character in The Killer.
