men would rather drop out of law school to become an OCD hitman obsessed with The Smiths and hell-bent on revenge after a job goes wrong, instead of going to therapy

Also, this film gave me Le Samouraï vibes all the way through. Absolutely adored it. Great to see Fincher back on thrillers and Fassbender back as a lead actor.
