In the end I thought The Killer (2023) was good but the thing I liked most about it is that it was the rare assassin movie about a guy who was simply Okay at being an assassin. Like he probably wouldn't even be on the leaderboards.

i wish there was a movie about a retired assassin who is called out of their quiet normal life to fight a series of over-the-top battles... too bad hollywood will never make this

Green Room is more situational horror but also very good.
Most thrillers have a body count that would be national news for YEARS because people really don't just massacre each other like that on an average day.
