This score is on the higher side, when we talk about Dave Bautista movies.
While the audience’s percentage is very good, the critical score is poor and it's a meagre 39% for every 33 reviews.

His first male lead movie of the year “My Spy- The Eternal City”, was a streaming movie which was released on OTT.
The Killer’s Game (2024) Final Trailer - Dave Bautista, Sofia Boutella, Terry Crews The Box Office Response On its opening weekend, the Killer’s Game only collected around $2.6 million on the domestic circuit, which is fairly low. After stepping away from wrestling in 2010, Dave has mostly played supporting roles or roles that are a part of a large ensemble.
Movies like “The Guardians of the Galaxy”, Avengers, Dune and James Bond, are a prime example of Bautista not playing major lead roles. Although there is still a chance of the box office numbers improving for Killer’s Game, it is effectively clear that a main lead role is not the most auspicious for Dave. In terms of acting performances, Dave has not fared badly at all, as a major number of his movies have got positive reviews on The Rotten Tomatoes, since 2021.
The Killer’s Game has some serious action sequences and a big cameo from another WWE superstar Drew McIntyre , which might propel fans to turn up. Dave, who was known as “Batista” in WWE had retired from in-ring action after competing in his last wrestling match against Triple H, at Wrestlemania 2019.Triple H(aka Paul Levesque) is the current Chief Content Officer of WWE and an old time friend of Dave.
