Look forward to hearing your thoughts on this one once you have an opportunity to check it out Andrew!

Probably the closest thing we have to a movie that features “expert killers who are easy going and have fun” is 2021’s ‘Baby Assassins’, which now also has a sequel which I’ll check out once the chance arises!

It is becoming cliché to have an expert killer spend all of their time brooding alone and being miserable. I get that when you kill people for a living, you have a lot of enemies and don’t want to put other people in danger, but writers still need to get more creative.

It would be a change of pace to see more expert killers who are easy going and have fun. If not for anything but to take their minds off of killing.

One can usually count of Korean productions to have comprehensive action scenes, so it’s sad to read about Ballerina aping the Bourne sequels’ editing style. Even if it’s to hide doubles, there has to be another way.
