Green Beret Reacts to The Tactics of The Killer "TOO REAL?!"

[@Daveyd325]

Part 2 please One way to interpret this movie is it's about an assassin who lost his mojo because he keeps fucking up and acts contrary to his rules He says you need to be patient in the beginning, then he falls asleep by accident He's done 10,000 hours, but his heart rate is still >100 when he sees the target; probably doesn't get it below 60 or at least David Fincher doesn't show us. He's panicking when he's running away in the vespa, but really no one's looking for him. Even the song they choose "I am human and I need to be loved just like everyone else does"; he's just a dude capable of fucking up like the rest of us

[@lucasgrey9794]

He was far more calm than the average person would be during the escape on the vespa. In fact, most spec ops would be less calm than he was.

[@Daveyd325]

@@lucasgrey9794 True but he's also acting out of the character he's trying to sell us he is. He's supposed to be a master but he's hyperventilating. He's still a master, just lost his mojo.

[@MajimaGoro8]

@@Daveyd325I agree. He’s trying to sell us on his ideals of what it takes to do what he does. But some of the actions he takes are to the contrary. For instance, killing the one lady and making it look like an accident. And letting the tech guy live.

[@itsMBWAAA]

It was the 13 hours secret soldiers of Benghazi episode that buck said “looks like a duck, fuckin quacks like a duck.. there ducks around” and thennn he said “looks fishy, smells fishy, there’s fuckin fish around and it’s time to start bangin hammers” lmao I just rewatched that episode a few weeks ago but couldn’t remember which one it was that he said that, so I just went and checked lol. Also, that video has 1.2 million views now! Congrats!

[@joseyse7en]

“The American” with George Clooney had similar BREAKDOWNS of his character’s methodology. I really enjoyed both films for this direction of focus. alright alright alright

[@Ჽum]

The American is underrated for sure, as long as you can get past the nonsensical gun crafting scenes. Definitely see what you mean though, both The American and The Killer are great vibe movies with fairly basic (and similar) stories, The Killer is just a better, more well-rounded movie overall imo.

[@ConfidentMelon]

The Day of the Jackal (1973) is another good assassin movie, and there's a 2024 release in the works

[@juicev25]

Oh dang!

[@BrianDouglass-o3u]

I loved this movie. The comment I wish to make is that it is a common thing people think that just because you touch something you leave a print behind. I've taken a criminal forensic course before and of course it included 'dusting' for fingerprints. What we learned was that it is VERY possible to touch something and NOT leave a print behind. Our instructor said that if a person either has dry skin or their is no perspiration it will leave nothing behind. Typically though people will have some sort of fear of getting caught that tends to produce this perspiration and thus leave a print.

[@Reflectionmaterial]

The second part will be hilarious. The sniper decides to go after one guy by clearing his house with a gun. And literally confronts the Ancient One inside a restaurant and somehow forces her to walk with him outside.

[@ThatValorguy]

For the car bomb thing It’s a reference to car bombs during the troubles from the 1960’s - 1980’s. It’s essentially just making a serious issue of the time something trivial like a jagerbomb.

[@paulll47]

The funny thing about this movie is that the killer, despite ostentibly being super professional and skilled, fucks literally everything up, it's not even bad luck itself, the guy royally screws the pooch so many times that you actually wonder how he is still alive lol. Still, I enjoyed the movie, the original comic is better of course (the character in there is an actual professional who just has horrible luck) but the writing is just perfect, there is something about the aesthetics and the general mood that is just so captivating to me.

[@CT2507]

What do you mean, he "fucks literally everything up"? He only fucks up the main shoot, and hits the escort instead. The rest of the movie are the sequence of events born out of that one mistake, which he resolves very well. Except perhaps loosing the element of surprise when he enters the first hired gunman's house. But that's about it.

The Smiths' soundtrack was a co-star itself. I don't know how they licensed that as those guys are totally dysfunctional these days but I'm glad they did.

[@willy1018]

Great movie, awesome review! And I’m gonna need that banging hammers shirt! 😂😂😂 love the channel guys. I’m not gonna lie I stole the phrase “time to start banging hammers” at work. Awesome episode guys!

[@B51608]

Part 2 needs to be made. BTW, Fassbender said in an interview that he used a one-hand-shooting stance with pistols because he did not want the guy to have a military background look, more self-taught.

[@CT2507]

Well, he didn't succeed with that part then. I thought he had a military background. His focus and patience. His skills with sniping. His meticulousness and attention to detail. His self-discipline and how he kept himself fit. His planning, tactics and how he kept a cool head under heavy pressure without letting the emotions take over. All very military like.

[@B51608]

@CT2507 or someone who wants to stay out of jail...

[@CT2507]

@ No body will self teach themselves all the things I mentioned. That sort of mentality and set of skills, are taught in the military, secret services and intelligence services. Fassbender himself knows all such things from watching other movies, or reading books that were all inspired by military planning, training and skill sets.

[@8gfist]

Part two for sure. Still waiting for you to do the Green Berets with John Wayne.

[@FNGACADEMY]

bro, I dont know how we skipped that one lol

[@esk8er900]

Speaking of heartrate… I was at a normal regularly scheduled doctors appointment & while the nurse is checking my blood pressure I get a call from work which I had notified & took off from well in advance with guidance from a superior (nice new job)… when my phone rang my heartrate skyrocketed to where the nurse was like “ohhhh ok we’re not gonna use those numbers cuz the doc is gonna go ballistic so I’m just gonna put this which is in line with all the prior readings instead” like she heard the call, saw the stress & sweat, all from me apparently putting the appointment on the wrong calendar even tho I was walked thru it in person… still freaks me out a little bit. 😅

[@ChrisWoo-d9d]

The entire tangent of the ducks alone was just ducking hilarious

[@worthvalsinarb]

All right, I am not saying that I believe you really read all those thousands of comments, but you motivated me. I share the excitement about the Killer with you absolutely (which is not always the case). I loved how slow it was, well thought, realistic, details covered. It is actually super cool to see your episode about it and learn some more details that were in, and I missed them (the eye drops, magazine tap) or that the production missed (I was also wondering about the gun in the airport bin), so thank you! Yes, please, do the second half, I am curious about your comments! It has been a while since I have seen the movie, I guess I am going to rewatch it so I am ready for the second half : )

[@mikenovember9688]

I watched thi a while ago and your insight made me realize how much more accurate it was.

[@theviolator6039]

Seen this a few months ago and it immediately edged into my top 5 action movies. From an LE pov I so appreciated the subtlety, attention to detail, and realistic depiction. I especially loved the inner dialog...it added so much to the movie. Plus, and i may be aging myself, I love Morrissey (The Smiths). Can't wait for you guys to do the rest of this film!!!

[@Ghost-of-a-man]

Great to see you back guys. I for one am becoming a little suspicious that Abel may have been playing us all for fools this whole time. Wouldn’t it be funny if the other guy on the show with the ex SF guys is actually a world class assassin being super covert 🤣

Oh, please part 2. This movie is seriously awesome, and there are so many little details that are really cool. Hope to see more soon. Oh, and as I'm writing this, Buck said the thing about typing "1" if we've seen this far, so there it is.

[@AzraelVDV]

I've had a few rifles that had problems feeding if you didn't tap the mag. I wouldn't have thought about that eyedrop thing but it makes sense add that next time I bring it out range. This has so much knowledge

[@gabe6645]

You guys should check out Zodiac (2007), it's directed by the same director. It's based on the real investigation. I think it's the best realistic serial killer movie ever made, It's basically a three hour police procedural.

[@Inv1ctus6243]

I like that the scenes have so little happening that these guys spend 4 times as much time filling in extra content.

[@The_Isaiahnator]

In terms of movie assassins, I wanna see your take on these two characters: 1) Jason Bourne 2) Vincent (from Collateral) Bourne seems a bit over-the-top, but plausible enough if the CIA trained a very talented candidate who was recruited from the military. Vincent, on the other hand, seems super-plausible as a highly trained contact killer. He's deadly, but through a series of unlucky circumstances, makes mistakes all throughout the movie. It makes him feel more human.

[@BigJjuice151]

I can’t believe I get to answering the “tapping the magazine question”!!! The reason solders tap the magazines is it significantly reduces misfeeds. If you skip this step the tips of the bullets can drag on the magazine thus reducing the effectiveness of the follower and spring which negatively affects how the ammo cycles.

[@StevenLaMarca]

Nice work gents. I friggin LOVED this film. So badass and your analysis of his "methods" are spot on.

[@joemurray9071]

Excellent movie. Complete breakdown with beers requested.

[@jacobstaten2366]

I would definitely love to see a part two. In the comic book, he has a lot of backwards morality, and is probably a sociopath. In this movie, he is definitely a jerk, but they added some humor and irony in the fact that his inner monologue is so disciplined, but he makes a lot of mistakes. Even in the sniper scene, he talks about lowering his heart rate, but then he plays a fast-paced song. You mentioned dumping the pistol at the airport. When he faces the brute, instead of climbing through the doggie door or some other method, he sets off the alarm. He could have literally waited till the guy was in the house for an hour or so and then set the beams on fire. The pro even points out that he could have handled her in a more nuanced way but chose to confront her face to face.

(18:12) The bullet looked like a 308 win, perhaps 300 win mag. A 308 win subsonic will drop 100+ inches at 300 yards depending on grain weight and barrel length. Even a supersonic 300 win mag will drop 11+ inches at 300 yards.

[@thesavage6484]

I’m glad you mentioned this! A 220 gr 308 has a 4 mil drop at 100 yrd compared to a standard velocity bullet. So like you said at 300 yards is a huge drop so it’s NOT point of aim point of impact like the commentator stated

It was cool Buck explaining why they tap the mag on something. It's a habit for me , every time I get out a mag for a pistol or rifle I tap it on something. Sometimes I forget I'm not wearing a helmet and tap one on my head so that smarts a little

[@Filipmalek1]

One of the other dumb things is later in the movie when he gets home and rushes to his house to confront the intruders. He pulls a Glock out of the glove compartment, then performs a press-check (to ensure a round is in the chamber), then proceeds to run towards the house and only when he's already in front of the house he cocks the gun - this would eject an already chambered round and leave him with 1 less round in case of a gun fight...

I always wondered why he waited and dumped the gun at the airport and the only thing I could think was he was keeping it until the last minute in case he got stopped and had to shoot his way out...

Slide in a trash can, mag in a sewer, barrel in the river etc. Lol I just accepted that it must have been for a purpose I didn't understand because the rest of the movie was so solid.
