"one who kills for fanatical or monetary reasons."
So, obviously, qualifying movies need to deal with someone
who kills for fanatical or monetary reasons.
One of the leads must be an assassin, or the story needs to revolve
around an assassin or assassins (or the threat of one). It can’t just be a group of criminals who
happen to kill people (Snatch). And
it can’t be someone hell bent on revenge (Conan
the Barbarian).
