Oh shyt...
My badd let me go back and watch the rest.
I was thinking the only way this beginning makes sense is if it's like some dark comedy.
I'm seeing in the comments that it apparently is
if this shyt is still Ass....I'm blaming u lol
Not a comedy (although there are def comedic elements) but I feel like that first scene establishes he's not a great assassin and doesn't adhere to many of the rules he has memorized.

Yeah, to me it was always pretty clear the point was to be in the head of a psycopath and how deluded a guy with that kind of job/mentality really is
More I think about it, the more it really does seem like a dig to the kinda sigma grindset gary vee inspirational quote/video entrepreneur ig types. You can even wrap that around how he relates (or doesnt) to tilda swinton's character and the brute. Both are kinda types you'd encounter in workforce and he's judging them based one how they live on down time even though they're in the same line of work.Yeah, to me it was always pretty clear the point was to be in the head of a psycopath and how deluded a guy with that kind of job/mentality really is
I was agreeing with you, fakkit.
fukk you nikka...I thought u was tryna gang up on me lol
Gotcha..

Just finished this movie...
I'm sitting here with the gas face. This shyt is kinda horrible.
Like bad...but leaning toward horrible.
You're saying he has all these bad ass quotes and philosophies in the beginning and he's obviously very disciplined...
But somehow he's bad at being an assassin?
Apparently this isn't his first assassination. So he can't be bad at it.
He seems to be well respected for what he does by the other people he kills in the movie and he was pretty good at stalking and killing them...
What the fukk was this movie trying to get at. Whatever angle it was going for, it missed its mark.

Movie was str8. I usually do like films like this, but it was a little dull and I didn’t like the ending at all. He had no sympathy for anyone else, but decides to let the rich guy who gave the go ahead on the incident go? For a man like that I would think it wouldn’t matter whether or not the guy is someone malicious like he originally thought. The guy still ordered a hit on someone else and was aware of the fact they would eliminate you… to clean loose ends in which he paid for. Who would determine that to be a good person? Is it supposed to be where he lets him live, because he fukked up on the job? I just don’t think it fits the character really. Maybe it does… but it was a wack ending for me personally

Make your own luck.
I don't know if it was an inside joke for him to be so bad at his job while doing all this perfect routine talk but
Nice change of pace I guess?
Also Tilda Swinton got the GOAT suddenly scared white woman face
Maybe I'm wrong, but I read the intro and the rest of the movie as more about a guy who got bored at his job and self-sabotaged his way to retirement and the good life as a result. Not as one about a guy who was shyt at his job and just a whiner/lacking in self-awareness.
*got high and ended up making a long ass write-up, but this is how I saw it***
In the intro, he starts out by saying you can't do this job if you can't deal with boredom. We then see his entire, long, tedious process of getting ready for the kill...all the monotony. It's like you have to be a machine to do the job. He also mentioned being 100% successful on every kill except for a guy who dropped dead of a heart attack that he couldn't claim. The botched kill we see is the 1st one if we believe him- so it's not as much about general incompetency as much as slipping.
We'd seen him get distracted a few, him complaining to his handler about nothing happening/no target. Him talking about how the distance kills are the least fun and least creative. He's mastered his craft and is bored. Starting to look more human than machine.
And he was getting distracted by the dominatrix thing during the botched kill. All the while, the song with the line "I am human and I want to be loved" plays in the background. At the end of the day, the Killer is still just a guy.
And the chain of events after the botched kill sets off him having to get up close and personal on every kill after in the movie. It culminates with the brute kill...that is the sloppiest kill possible, but also the one where he had to improvise the most.
The interaction with the Hodges handler makes it clear that the expectation is that the guy is a clean, methodical killer who operates more as machine than human too. Hodges doesn't think he's in danger at all until the last possible moment because he expects the Killer to do the rational, clean thing. Which he doesn't. He kills him with that nail gun.
And the Tilde kill reveals that he's not incapable of operating at a high level as much as just wanting to mix it up and play with odds more than certainties. He doesn't take the food because it's already out there when he arrives and he never sees her eat it. He grabs her drink to drink the alcohol that could be spiked because he doesn't think she'd kill him AND herself. He accurately guesses her knack for self-preservation, and is ready when she tries to pull that fast one on him and stab him at the end.
The Tilde convo is also the most revealing one too, imo. She's caught slipping at dinner, 1st of all, so caught relaxing and enjoying herself. She mentions thinking this day would never come, but clearly she got caught slipping and that was some arrogance. Then she talks about the Bear in the woods and the Sodomy...punchline being, "You know. I don't think you're here for the hunt." Hinting at subconscious motivations.
Maybe I missed it, but the one thing that would kind of solidify my understanding of the Killer's motives and what led to everything playing out...is if he was fairly recently with his girl. Just starting to enjoy a taste of the good life and enjoy the fruits of his labor.
His character was like the bizarro world version of the Sheriff from No Country for Old Men. Two characters recognizing when it's time to bow out of the game.
