The Killer (2023) with Michael Fassbender streaming on Netflix. About half thru it and took a short intermission. Psychological "thriller" in the sense that we hear what the main character is thinking. I am curious to see how it ends... || ok/good ending, I liked it, so do metascore critics.
We can disagree about that I thought well acted (or I like Fassbender), well written -- I like "hearing" the character's thoughts..., ok ending, overall made sense given the context. Well received by critics, average Metascore 72.The Killer is probably the most forgettable movie of the year. Sorry, David Fincher fans.

Nice, the trailer for that gave me Hero vibes:Watched - Shadow - IMDB: Shadow (2018) 7.0 | Action, Adventure, Fantasy while visually impressive and some cool fighting, just not on my top recommended list. Maybe 6.5/10, for me anyway. Having said that it's been some years since I watched a film of this genre.
No problem Same director as Hero and I think House of the flying daggers but I haven't seen either. Just depends on what's freely available on free catch-up

My Thoughts
Several years ago, I saw a trailer for a film on YouTube that looked interesting and like something that I would want to see.
Eventually I forgot about the trailer & the film, and I never heard or thought about it again until last year when Double Toasted mentioned it because Korey Coleman liked this film & Martin Thomas hated this film.
Double Toasted mentioned the name of this film, so I looked it up.
Then I realized that it was the film that I saw a trailer for several years ago that looked intriguing, and like something that I would want to see; and that film was called Enemy.
So I decided to watch the movie, the first minute or so of this movie started in an uncomfortable & strange way that bothered me.
A few other parts in this movie bothered me as well, but it helped set the tone.
After that, this film surprised me, and I liked this film even more than I thought that I would.
The yellow tone / tint / shade (color) that this film has & various other elements combine to make you feel a bit off.
It sets an interesting atmosphere and feeling to this film.
This film made me think, it confused me, but in a good way mostly.
I like the tagline for this movie, which is: “You can’t escape yourself”, which is something that I understand & relate to.
This is not a film for everyone and some parts of it bothered me, but I recommend watching it.
Hello @Jonny Quest, thank you for sharing that, I actually have not seen October Sky, but I think that one of my former classmates mentioned it to me back in the day.One of my favorite movies is October Sky, with Jake Gyllenhaal. A nice feel-good movie. Then I watched him in Nightcrawler, and realized what a versatile actor he is, a spooky, creepy dude. The ending of that movie with him and Rene Russo was like something out of Alfred Hitchcock, the love birds watching disaster together.
