  1. Barry's deliberately unspectacular performance makes this even more powerful. He gives "Assassin" a disquieting authority.

    Burger at first toys with his unlikely premise, panning through the streets of this stuccoed suburbia as if meditating on the banality of evil, and indeed, our first few encounters with the assassin.
