When a hitman is diagnosed with a terminal illness, he decides to take a hit out on himself. But when the very hitmen he hired also target his ex-girlfriend, he must fend off an army of assassin colleagues.
With cartoonish, stylized violence, The Killer’s Game is basically a Guy Richie movie on steroids. It’s like watching a video game played by somebody else. If somebody told you this was from the late 90s, you’d accept that completely unless you thought about the ages of the stars. Surprisingly, some pretty big names agreed to perform in this – Ben Kingsley, Alex Kingston and Terry Crews all had fairly significant roles. They must have wanted a free trip to Budapest, which is where is was filmed. The city looks great.
The star of the film is Dave Bautista, and what I’m about to type may surprise you. The big lug is actually a competent actor, and he’s certainly an athletic and powerful guy, so he may just make it as a big-time, above-the-title star.
A background actress named Reka Dora Urban wore nothing but a thong, but the topless scene is out of focus and far from the camera.
Sofia Boutella offered only a slight, distant nip-slip. That’s disappointing, considering that she had never been shy about nudity before this.
Boutella’s previous nudity:

I still would love to know… how big is Dave Bautista’s dick. I heard it’s huge. The man is a hell of an actor and I am convinced he will get an Oscar soon while the Crock will be getting millions…. and millions of Razzies.
There’s no way to know that yet lol
Watch a short Bautista made a few years ago. They released a few shorts to go along with Blade Runner 2049. One starred Bautista. It was 100% a dramatic role. Zero action.
And he was astonishing.
I knew then watch his career. The guy has chops.
Yeah, I saw him in the movie itself, and I was impressed. I didn’t expect to see him there, but his performance was very nuanced. More than The Rock or John Cena or any of the other guys who are mostly playing themselves in a movie. He has some range, and maybe this is his breakout role. I always thought he did pretty well in Guardians of the Galaxy, especially the first one where he had to say some incredibly silly things with a straight face (I kinda thought he over-did it in the other two, but the writing and directing may have had a part in that too).
Towards the end he fights like three dudes at once, so I wouldn’t say it has zero action. But yeah, between the short and his scene in the actual film I think he showed he can do dramatic roles well.
When you began with, “This may surprise you,” I thought you were going to say the big lug was terrible in the film. Dave Bautista is a phenomenal actor, almost certainly the best pro wrestler to become an actor, though that would certainly be damning with faint praise. I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if he wins an Oscar, he is that good. If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend you watch Hotel Artemis, where Bautista acts with Jodie Foster.
This movie came out 3 months ago? I never heard of it
It got a wide release (2,600 theaters) and totally bombed.
I loved him in Glass Onion. But then again, I loved everybody in Glass Onion.
