Killers
A deceptively cheerful romantic comedy unfolds as a seasoned assassin attempts to navigate suburban domesticity after falling for a computer programmer, only to find his past violently resurfacing and forcing a chaotic return to his lethal skills. The film distinguishes itself through its playful subversion of the action genre, prioritizing quirky situational humor drawn from the clash between a deadly profession and everyday life, rather than relying on elaborate action sequences. This creates a lighthearted yet surprisingly suspenseful atmosphere built around the central conflict of maintaining a fabricated identity while evading relentless pursuit, ultimately exploring themes of transformation and the enduring pull of one’s former self. The juxtaposition of tenderness and explosive violence provides an unexpectedly charming and self-aware take on the ‘married couple on the run’ trope.
