The Killer
I watched this latest David Fincher movie in the theater before it goes exclusively to Netflix.
Michael Fassbender stars as the multi-alias Killer, a sociopathic assassin who goes to great lengths to kill his targets.
And even greater lengths to protect himself when things go wrong.
It's a tight movie that keeps you engaged throughout. I didn't like it as much as Gone Girl, Fight Club, and the Game, but it is definitely worth checking out on Netflix before it's buried under other content.

Surprise. It's another tactics indie game that I'm enjoying. I have my vices. And turn-based pixelated combat is one of them.
This one takes place on an earth-like world where swarms of intelligent mutant rats have overrun the capital city, and your group of fighters have to make your way through the ruins with a little spherical robot that might be able to turn the tables on the rats.
It's a little bit Darkest Dungeon with fear damage and camping between missions, and a whole lot X-Com with the cover and overwatch mechanics.
But the rats will never stop. And you must ultimately flee or they will overrun you.
I hate rats. Rats make me crazy.
But that's okay, because this game lets me kill so very many of them.
They have to pay.
