The Killer (1989)
Reviewed by: Fatty on 2001-03-06
Summary: One kick ass movie!!!!!
Simply put, one of the greatest action movies off all time!!!! Ever since I bought this I haven't stopped watched it...I've watched it 3 times now, lol 2 busy with Hard Boiled and stuff, lol neways onto the review

It's about a Hitman(Chow Yun Fat) has a hit gone wrong and blinds some singer at a night club. Then he begins to feel happy and help her, but some cop(Danny Lee) wants to bring him down...Booya!

Ofcourse this is one of my fav movies off all time, it's got the plot, the acting and ofcourse the bloody gunbattles!!! Now let's start with the acting

Chow Yun Fat kicked ass in this film, as the cool hitman he made me happy, blowing people away and having courage to fight a huge load of baddies in a church(Brutal and best part). But I sorta like Mark from ABT but NOT ALOT. Danny Lee did a great job as the cop, I hated the prick at the beginning but when he joined up with Fat in the end, he got my respects :D. Great jod Lee!! Sally Yeh was pretty good as the blind woman. I really did feel sorry for her and I was hoping she could see who really was helping her. But why did Fat die in the end...He was supposed to be a kick ass Hitman....WHY GOD TELL ME WHY!!!!!

The Plot was really good aswell, I wasn't bored that much but hell, I could care less. Woo did a another great job with this film, ofcourse this movie game him fame but it was ABT they got him started.

Ahh yes...The action, some of the greatest gunbattles I've ever seen, the beginning and the End were the best parts of the film. The middle had great action aswell but not amazingly great. But seeing Fat bloodied and still kicking ass made my night easily. If I was him I would be crying my ass off cause of being shot and probably running away scared while Lee can take care of the rest :)

One more thing, the music was great, I'm not sure if Chow was really playing the Harmonica but it did made me cry at the end when we saw Fat die(Brutal if I might add) it's hard for action movies to make me cry but It did, yes I do confess now The Killer made me cry...and Hard Boiled made me go psycho :D

So in all, a Outstanding film was a great plot, acting and ofcourse the action makes the movie a good home for action fans like myself, you will not be disgusted about having this film, you will be very very happy! Oh yeah the music rocked aswell :D


5/5
