Killer's Game, The
[Opens Sept. 13 in theaters.] When a highly skilled, veteran assassin (Dave Bautista) in Europe, who gets his contracts from his longtime associate (Ben Kingsley), begins to experience debilitating headaches and learns from his doctor (Raffaello Degruttola) that he has a terminal illness that gives him perhaps three months to live in J.J. Perry's highly entertaining, action-packed, fast-paced, well choreographed, humorous, blood-soaked, extremely violent, 104-minute thriller based on Jay Bonansinga's 1997 novel, he orders a hit on himself through a killer "queen" (Pom Klementieff) and then must cancel the $2 million contract after discovering he is not dying, protect his dancer girlfriend (Sofia Boutella) who is clueless about his occupation, and stop a slew of tenacious assassins (Terry Crews, Scott Adkins, Drew McIntyre, Shaina West, Lucy Cork, Daniel Bernhardt, Lee Hoon, Marko Zaror, et al.) trying to take him out using original methods.
