Customer Reviews of The Killer - Criterion Collection
"BULLETS,BEAUTY & MAYHEM" This is Mr Woo's best film,period. A foriegn film that has inspired countless imitations,this movie has it all! Like his influences Leone,Peckinpah & Scorsese this film hosts a "ballet of bullets" that while violent is also captivatingly beautiful! Fans of Chow Yun Fat who have only seen his US releases "replacement killers" & the corrupter w/be in for a real treat w/this classic! Same can be said for Mr. Woo's stateside fans of face/off & hard target (& the awful broken arrow) see woo's triad=killer hard-boiled & better tmw! dubbed or sub-titled it doesnt matter,just view this masterpiece. Points of interest to fans of genre: DESPARADO by rodriguez has a virtual remake of the gunfight scene(including the saving of innocent child ) from the Killler. And the score to the dubbed version is the same as that of 48hrs w/Nick Nolte.Also MR.Woo even used the Catholic Church shoot out from the KILLER in Face OFF(including the doves).RUN DONT WALK & GET THIS FILM NOW!
The Killer
This is truly the best action flick ever!Full of beautifully choregraphed action sequences that will take your breath away.Directed by John Woo (Mission Impossible 2, Face/Off) the story follows John Chow (Chow Yun-Fat), a hitman with conscience.His life changes when he accidentally blinds Jennie (Sally Yeh), a night-club singer during a violent shoot-out in a club.John decides to take care of her and quit his job, then finally leave the country with her.But his good friend and boss, Sydney (Chu Kong) offers John one last job with a huge sum.John takes the job as he needs money for Jennie's cornea operation on her eyes.But with Inspector Li (Danny Lee) and Sgt.Randy Chang (Kenneth Tsang) in hot pursuit, not to mention an army of thugs also.Will John and Jennie get away in time?You will have to watch it to find out. Stunning performances by Chow Yun Fat and Danny Lee.Woo fans will not be disappointed.All his trade marks are here:stand-off's, use of religion, two guns,friendship,honour etc...There is hardly one boring scene in it.Overall fantastic film!
John Woo & Chow Yun Fat...nuff said!
The Killer is the perfect example of cinema in its most powerful form. Expression...every bullet, every conversation & every scene just flows so beautifully & expressively it just blows me away. Unexplainable. Very deep & mythological story, unlike anything ive ever seen! U just have to see it. & see it. It will make u think to yourself, "what the hell is the average Hollywood budget gettin wasted on?? Promotion!!?? " John Woo on the other hand does not need $100,000,000 to truley express himself, hell, he doesn't even need the highest quality celluloid to make his films stunningly beatiful.. The Killer is no exception, John Woo is such a masterful director, no wonder why Hollywood have been ripping him off long before they invited him to join 'em!
& unlike most action films of mindless "invincibilty" plots & stupid reasons for massive shootouts, this has a cause for every piece of stunningly choerographed action...& consequences to join the equation.
If youve only seen Chow Yun Fat in his American films (Replacement Killers & Bulletproof Monk e.t.c), you really havent his true styles & capabilities. Get THE KILLER, & youll know why Hollywood have copied J.Woo's style of genius direction more times than a photo-copier has copied paper!
This is John Woo at his purest form, & Chow in his true style.
The John Woo & Chow Yun Fat combo is like the Sergio Leone & Clint Eastwood combo= Classics!
Get this if u like a deep, moving story, awesome acting, & action that sychronizes perfectly. (Also check out other J. Woo classics, Hard Boiled, A Better Tommorow 1 & 2, & Bullet in the Head!)
.....Nobody does action like Honk Kong...Nobody does Honk Kong like John Woo...
