I really enjoyed this movie. This is not a slow burn, they grab you from the beginning and keep the intrigue going. I will say I figured out twists but that didn't matter to me, the movie was just as enjoyable to watch.
I stumbled across this on Netflix and decided to give it a try.
After watching, I came here. I was surprised to see so few reviews of a film that was actually very good.
This deserves more notice than it appears to have gotten so far.

The Suicide Theory is as dark as the title suggests, but beyond that, this film is well calculated and very deep. Whilst it does suffer from a weak story at times and odd pacing, The Suicide Theory revives itself with it's original, fresh take on the hit-man genre. Whilst I wouldn't call this film an action film, it defiantly borders psychological thriller cross drama, giving you more questions than answers about mortality and the meaning of life.
The Suicide Theory is captivating, good to watch and one film that surprised me a bit. The themes explored in this film may be controversial to some, but ultimately, this film produces one of the most ballsy stories that has ever come on screen.

I watched this film knowing nothing about the plot, and the premise got me immediately hooked. A killer gets hired by suicidal man to kill him, as he has a "theory" that he cannot die, and will only be able to die once he does not want to die. The killer man job is to figure out how to kill this man, i.e., how to make him not want to die and then kill him. The killer tries to kill him a couple of times, not believing the theory, but fails, until the hard evidence makes him start to consider the theory.
Once the premise is established, we get to know little by little the background of both protagonists, and discover how they are somehow connected, and poses the questions is everything happening for a reason? Or is it us that we give reason to the inevitable coincidences that occur in our lives? This is done not subtly at all, but it's a good question to be asked.
In the end, we reach a resolution though a series of events that are connected for a reason, or in the other interpretation, through a series of coincidences too strong not to think they were meant to happen.
My only minor criticism is that the "twists" are very predictable, but this is minor, since possibly the intention was not to give a shocking twists, but to show how a series of unlikely connections makes us wander if they are happening for a reason, the main question of the movie.
Quite interesting though not spectacular film, it did leave me thinking a bit, and I enjoyed my time through the darkness of the tone, the character development, and the questions thrown unanswered by the movie.

Acting is superb and the director tells us so much about the characters with closeups. As in all good thrillers you don't get the full impact of the film until the very end. But you must be very observant to catch some key elements of the plot to put all the clues together. I had to watch it twice to see some key scenes.
The writing is excellent as well. There are a few chuckles but nothing that diminishes the intensity of this film. The writing reveals the characters very well in their actions. Great job of revealing complex characters.
Philosophy plays a part on another level. So enjoy and watch it several times. I will probably watch it again.
