As seen in the trailer for “The Killer’s Game,” the film follows the story of a hitman who gets the terrible news that he has a terminal illness that will only give him three months to live. Armed with this news, the hitman decides to take a hit out on himself. But wouldn’t you know it? The doctor calls him back and says the files got switched and he’s perfectly fine. Now, he just has to deal with a cavalcade of assassins hot on his tail.
The film stars Dave Bautista, Sofia Boutella, Terry Crews, Scott Adkins, Pom Klementieff, and Ben Kingsley. “The Killer’s Game” is directed by J.J. Perry.
