This is the standard "hitman procedural" that we've all seen done a dozen times before into much better effect. You get your standard allotment of shadowing the victim, preparing the plan, assembling the weapons, Forward by the cold dispatch of the intended target. And just so things don't get too boring, which they still do, they throw in the occasional messy hit where fisticuffs and martial arts moves come in handy. To be honest, this one hand to hand fight is the only thing that rose above a standard paint by numbers, connect the dots, "hitman on a mission" movie tropes. It's a good thing this was released on Netflix, because it would have died a quick death at the cinema.
