The Killer's Game is exactly what it promises from the first minute: a movie full of shootouts, punches, and absurd humor that doesn’t pretend to be anything more than entertainment. David Bautista throws himself into the role with his usual mix of toughness and charm, and even though the script doesn’t offer anything particularly clever, the film manages to stay engaging most of the time.
The main issue is that the story feels too generic. It’s the kind of movie you could have found on any video store shelf twenty years ago. There are no surprises, no memorable twists, but it doesn’t really need them to achieve its goal: to deliver an hour and a half of light action, a few ridiculous moments, and a couple of scenes that will make you smile.
It’s not a movie you’ll remember for long or one that will change your life, but if you’re looking to switch off your brain and enjoy some over-the-top fights and silly situations, it’s a decent enough choice. Sometimes that's all you really need from a movie night.
