in the killer 2023, the manager guy charges $150k for a job, so what, half of that is paid to our protagonist? He has 6 storage units with vehicles and dozens of disposable passports and credit cards and illegal fire arms in each, and multiple houses?

That’s a lot of overhead. How many murders does he have to do to earn a profit

Wasn’t the $150k for the “insurance”? Presumably that goes to the Lawyer who hires the Brute and the Expert at-cost for a cleanup that requires comparatively no prep. The Lawyer would probably redirect the original “success” payout, though now that I think about it there was no mention of the client getting his money back for the botched target.

Getting passports that scan would be expensive as poo poo to produce and pay off someone at the issuer.

he uses a different ID and credit card every time he buys something and a different passport every flight, six or 8 in the movie?

and his storage unit is chock full of them in plastic baggies. that’s hundreds of thousands of dollars?

it’s a lot and he had access to it all after his manager tried to kill him is he must arrange them himself

hollywood blockbuster type movies tend to be a product of their time period and every 5-7-10 years or so fashion etc changes enough to date things

it’s very obvious to me that no one in entertainment has any idea why sometimes their stuff is popular/successful

every actor ever thinks they are the star of the universe and they can’t tell if they are at the top of their game or are floundering in a terrible project that’s failing

the people funding everything see it as a quick buck and it’s corruption/nepotism all the way down by design and mostly they are laundering money for tax reasons

every once in a while it all comes together and some amazing movie gets made and it’s literally magic and makes a billion dollars
