Cult Killer (2024)
7/10

This is a thriller where a private investigator stalks a killer who is getting revenge. There are some heavy themes in this movie including lots of references to SA, so be warned. There is also a theme of s3x trafficking. I do think the movie treated these parts as delicately as they could, given its central focus to the plot. Meaning, it wasn't dismissive of it but it didn't make it extremely graphic.

I was already unsettled enough with what they did talk about and show.

Loved the "look" of the film and the music.

The acting was outstanding. When I realized it was Antonio Banderas at the beginning, it surprised me because to be honest, he is amazing in this movie, he brings his character to life and I did not know he could act on that level.

This is a dialogue heavy movie and even though I liked it, it does slow down the pace of the movie in several places.

Also, there were many instances where something didn't quite make sense or was not explained well and there is a computer hacking scene that is beyond ridiculous.

See this if you like dark murder/killer type movies and don't mind heavier themes.
