but the release of The Killer has broken his Rotten Tomatoes streak. Fassbender rose to prominence as the young Magneto in the X-Men prequel films.

His performances in 12 Years a Slave and Steve Jobs, both of which are considered among Michael Fassbender's best films, earned him Oscar nominations.

Fortunately, the Killer is here to change that. The film, directed by the acclaimed David Fincher

stars Fassbender as an assassin who becomes involved in an international manhunt by accident

Fassbender's acting abilities, combined with Fincher's filmmaking abilities, are likely to catapult the former back into the spotlight.

However, he might not want to celebrate too soon. Another of Fassbender's comeback films isn't receiving nearly the same critical acclaim.

The Killer has an 87% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, the highest for a Michael Fassbender-led film since Slow West.

That film, which was released in 2015, has a critic score of 92%.

Between Slow West and The Killer, none of his films received nearly as high a rating.

On the review aggregation site, not all of Fassbender's films have been deemed rotten, but the best ones he has to show are Alien: Covenant with 65% and The Light Between Oceans with 62%.
