2/2 Seriously, these two guys… they showed so much heart and toughness and talent in the execution of this scene, and found a way to create chaos with the precision that our esteemed director demanded. True, true pros.
On the set of The Killer I said to Justin Eaton: “Sala is about to tackle you through a glass table and smash you into the floor with 250lbs of ripped Kiwi sinew and bone. Try not to make any noise, okay? And don’t worry, there’s a defibrillator in the next room. Have fun.” 1/2
The Killer is a beautiful Bronson movie if penned by Sartre and filmed by Melville with the briskness of a Siegel. I simply love, love, love when Fincher swings with a mean genre beat. Nimble and clockwork precise and fun. The breeziest film I have seen in a long time. It's great when you can see a film and a movie at the same time.
