Summary
“The Killer’s Game” (2024), starring Dave Bautista, is an action-comedy film centered on Joe Flood, a seasoned hitman who decides to end his own life after being diagnosed with a terminal illness. In a twist of fate, he soon discovers that the diagnosis was a mistake. However, his decision has already set events in motion, as other assassins have been contracted to take him out. Now, Joe must use all his skills to survive the onslaught of killers while navigating his unexpected second chance at life. The movie combines action-packed sequences with a darkly comedic narrative.
Cast
Dave Bautista as Joe Flood: A seasoned hitman who orders a hit on himself upon receiving a mistaken terminal diagnosis. He becomes the primary target for other assassins, sparking the film’s main events.
Pom Klementieff as Marianna Antoinette: A mysterious woman who plays a significant role in Joe’s predicament by putting out a hit on him.
Ben Kingsley as Zvi: Joe’s mentor, likely someone who has guided him in his career as a hitman and now plays a crucial role in the unfolding events.
Scott Adkins as Angus Mackenzie: Details about his specific role are limited, but given Adkins’ action background, he is likely one of the assassins targeting Joe.
Marko Zaror as Botas: Another character who is potentially involved in the pursuit of Joe.
Terry Crews: His character’s name and role haven’t been fully detailed, but he is one of the notable additions to the cast.
Drew Galloway as Rory Mackenzie: His specific character background hasn’t been fully detailed.
Lee Hoon as Goyang: A hitman hired by Marianna to kill Joe, suggesting he is one of the obstacles Joe faces in the movie.
