The Killer's Game doesn't reinvent the action genre, but it's an entertaining ride if you're in the mood for some over-the-top fun. The premise—a hitman accidentally orders a hit on himself after a medical mix-up—feels predictable, but it's handled with a lighthearted, comic book flair. Dave Bautista leads as Joe Flood, bringing his usual tough-guy routine, though it’s familiar territory for him. The film's real strength lies in its action sequences. The fight scenes are creatively violent, with plenty of grenade action (a hitman’s best friend, apparently). There's also a surprising amount of humor, thanks to Ben Kingsley and a priest character who add comic relief in unexpected moments. While Bautista's chemistry with Sofia Boutella feels lacking, the supporting cast—especially Kingsley—adds some much-needed flair. The Killer's Game isn’t groundbreaking, but it’s an enjoyable, easy watch, perfect for fans of action-comedies. Just don't expect it to stay with you long after the credits roll.
