Since Thursday, “The Killer” by David Fincher is running on German screens. But you just can not make it to the cinema in the near future? No problem, because soon the film will be released in the Netflix subscription.
When it comes to particularly prestigious films, Netflix doesn’t miss the opportunity to bring them to the cinema. Behind this is not only that the streaming service wants to please cinema lovers.

For him, there is soon only one way out: he must break one of his rules and act out of personal motives. Soon he embarks on a hunt for those who are after him…
