| Brief Description: | John Woo wrote and directed this brilliant gangster drama set in
contemporary Hong Kong. The charismatic Chow Yun Fat stars as an
amoral hitman who accidentally blinds a young torch singer, agreeing
on a final assignment to pay for her surgery. The other plot is Chow's
relationship with a tough, uncompromising cop (Danny Lee), as they
battle the Hong Kong underworld. The Killer is a high-octane mixture
of outlandishly stylized camp and outrageously sensational shoot-outs"
(J. Hoberman). VHS letterboxed. Chinese with English subtitles. |
