A disillusioned assassin accepts one last hit in hopes of using his earnings to restore vision to a singer he accidentally blinded, only to be double-crossed by his boss.
A warm-hearted hitman is forced to look after a nightclub singer when he accidentally blinds her during a gunfight. Meanwhile, a hot-shot detective and a ruthless mob are on his tail.
I must admit that I'm a little bit perplexed with all this "best film ever" comments. The Killer IS a film worth seeing, but a master-piece bar none it ain't. All those droolings about wonderful characters and great melodramatic moments are a little bit over the top. What you get with The Killer is entertainment at its best. What makes this film great are NOT melodramatic moments, but Woo's ability to make them work in a fast paced action flick without getting pathetic. And if you're looking for character development, go and see some other film. Characters in The Killer are straight out of Japanese samurai films. Faceless bad guys, and 2 honourable heroes looking for justice in modern Hong Kong. What makes them interesting is that they defy Hollywood hero stereotypes. So don't get misguided by all those over-reacted comments, and just see the film. It's very good and different from western point of view, but it's not quite the best film ever..
Okay, I'll admit that M:I 2 had some really, really great action sequence. I'd heard a little about John Woo and I loved what he had to offer in that movie, so I consulted IMDB to come up with his seminal work - the best he has to offer. This, apparently, I'm sad to say, is it.

But one word comes to mind when describing this movie: ass. Pure, cinematic, ass. The music is of the twangy, sythesized variety that makes me glad the eighties are way behind us. The acting - horrible. The special effects? My god... abysmal - i.e. at one point in the movie they actually use a bona-fide /human voice/ to make the sound effects for a meowing cat. It's hard to keep a straight face when the movie does things like that to you.

I read other people's comments about this movie and I almost wonder if I actually watched the same thing. This movie was _horrible_. Not even Ishtar or Waterworld horrible - more along the lines of "Manos, the Hands of Fate," get me out of the goddamn theater, I'd rather watch paint dry, horrible.

I could _almost_ forgive the acting. Woo isn't known for that. People don't typically see his movies for the acting. But they do see them for the action. Not surprisingly, here, too, this movie fails miserably. Watching Yun-Fat mow through small armies of baddies as they explode into gratuituous mists of ketchup was fun for the first, oh, seven minutes. Wait, not even. Maybe four. Then it's all downhill from there as you realize that what I have just described will occur ad nauseum for the next 110 minutes with not much variation. Somewhere in there Woo spins a yarn about a blind pianist and a hitman with a conscience (/that's/ never been done before), but, to be honest, I fell asleep around the 70 minute mark and never did find out what happened with that part of the story. Trust me, the impressions I got up to that point tell me that it wouldn't have been very important anyways.

Rather, this film is concerned pretty much entirely with gunbattles. Gunbattle after gunbattle. After gunbattle. After gunbattle. And so on. Hey, I like a good gunfight as much as the next guy. But they are not exceptionally well choreographed - the least of which I would have expected from Woo. They all go something like this - several hundred armed thugs come tear-assing through a miniscule chokepoint such as, oh, say, a doggie door, only to be trepanned but Yun-Fat's dual Beretta's. Rinse, wash and repeat. There. That's it. I've just told you the whole movie. Now kindly spend your $2.99 at Blockbuster on something else. /Anything/ else.

What is the magic of this movie? What in the hell were people smoking when they commented on it? I for one am at a total loss. Unless you have a real, real hard-on for action (we're talking like, the size of a Buick here), I would highly recommend against this movie.

Rating: 3/10

1 for killing more people that any other movie I've seen before. 2 bonus points for having the balls to actually use human "meowing" in the movie instead of unadulterated cat meowing (what, was the cat union or something?).
Of course, such a VHS from Taiwan is hard to get these days. However, there is another interesting release, the French DVD by the enthusiast label HK Video. The 2-disc edition contains a cut called "version longue" with forced English subtitles on disc 2. This version is actually based on the Taiwanese version and contains almost every extension. Almost. With a running time difference of about 7 minutes it is clear that those versions cannot be identical.
