What is The Killer’s Game about?

“In the new action-comedy The Killer’s Game, when top hitman Joe Flood (Dave Bautista) is diagnosed with a terminal illness, he decides to take matters into his own hands – by taking a hit out on himself,” the official synopsis reads. “But when the very hitmen he hired also target his ex-girlfriend (Sofia Boutella), he must fend off an army of assassin colleagues and win back the love of his life before it’s too late.”

Along with Bautista (Guardians of the Galaxy) and Boutella (Kingsman: The Secret Service), The Killer’s Game stars Terry Crews (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Scott Adkins (John Wick: Chapter 4), Pom Klementieff (Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One), and Ben Kingsley (Gandhi). The Killer’s Game is based on a 1997 novel written by Jay Bonansinga. 

The film is directed by J.J. Perry, who previously made 2022’s Day Shift starring Jamie Foxx. Perry has also done stunt work in movies such as 2014’s The Expendables 3, 2014’s John Wick, 2017’s The Fate of the Furious, 2022’s Avatar: The Way of Water, and more.

Rand Ravich and James Coyne wrote the screenplay for The Killer’s Game. The movie is produced by Andrew Lazar, Steve Richards, and Kia Jam, while Jonathan Meisner, Bautista, Chris Milburn, Thane Watkins, Peter E. Strauss, Scott Lambert, Dean Altit, and Adam Fields serve as executive producers.
