The Killer
One vicious hitman. One fierce cop. Ten thousand bullets.
Directed by John Woo
Produced by Film Workshop, Golden Princess Film Productions
A stylish Hong Kong action thriller about a hitman seeking redemption through an act of conscience, driven by high-octane violence and a moral code amid betrayal.
Mob assassin Jeffrey is no ordinary hired gun; the best in his business, he views his chosen profession as a calling rather than simply a job. So, when beautiful nightclub chanteuse Jennie is blinded in the crossfire of his most recent hit, Jeffrey chooses to retire after one last job to pay for his unintended victim's sight-restoring operation. But when Jeffrey is double-crossed, he reluctantly joins forces with a rogue policeman to make things right.
