ReviewsRolling Stone - ...Dizzying thrills..., Film Comment - ...Woo pushes the already gonzo conventions of Hong Kong action-melodrama into the stratosphere....It's a hellzapoppin' gunfight festival..., New York Times - ...Balletic splatter and camp sentimentality have rarely if ever been stretched to [these] extremes....Outrageous..., Los Angeles Times - ...An example of the highly addictive, supercharged, go-for-broke Hong Kong cinema at its most deliberately outrageous...

Additional InformationIn John Woo's THE KILLER, a hired assassin (Chow Yun-Fat) accidentally blinds a beautiful nightclub singer during what was supposed to be his last murder. When he falls in love with her and accepts another contract in order to finance her cornea surgery, the stage is set for a long and bloody confrontation. A boisterous bullet opera from Woo, tempered as usual with his fascination with the notion of the honorable killer and with the doubling of similar men whom circumstances have placed on opposite sides of the law. The film is very heavy on Catholic imagery and redemption motifs.
