Past year's:
THE KILLER
Watchable. A tedious drama about a hitman, full of genre cliches. In fact, in the beginning, the protagonist says: "If you can't handle boredom, you're not good for the job" so it makes me a viewer not good for this movie. The killer muses on life, his profession and repeats the mantra of his rules, which he rarely follows anyway. But if you are to see the film, a big screen will compensate for the sketchy plot, where characters are just nominal: the hit people (Tilda Swinton stands out, surprisingly, as a cold-blooded killer), the client, the attorney (ordering the kills), with wonderful cinematography, where a plane is reflected in the glass of a skyscraper, colourful lights of a city or a wet road mesmerise, a lit landmark shines through the windows of a penthouse at night. The plot takes you from charming Paris, through verdant Santo Domingo or the Dominican Republic, to the heat of Florida or New Orleans or the cold of Chicago.
