Frank (Yee Fan-Wei) è un sicario, forse il migliore nel suo campo, che ha incidentalmente reso cieca la donna di cui è innamorato, la cantante Jenny (Sally Yeh). Egli accetta quello che dovrebbe essere l'ultimo lavoretto prima di ritirarsi e dedicarsi interamente alla sua amata, ma i gangster che lo hanno ingaggiato lo tradiscono.
The Killer Ratings e Recensioni
- Kipkemoi Bii10 ottobre 2025One of the best legendary movies
- mickerdoo9 settembre 2025Quintessential one man army, absolute clip dumper. Chow Yun-Fat easily wins over everyone with honor among thieves. Danny Lee was great.
- EddyVenom3 gennaio 2026They don’t make movies like this anymore. The Killer is a foundational action film and a masterclass in style and emotion, slow-motion gunfights, operatic themes of honor and redemption. It has influenced countless directors (like Tarantino and those in Hollywood), making it essential viewing for all action fans. All though far from perfect because of the lack of realism and endless bullets. John Woo's The Killer is a masterpiece of Hong Kong action cinema.
