Perhaps the most acclaimed Cantonese language production in the west, The Killer is generally considered by critics to be John Woo's greatest achievement. Chow Yun-fat delivers, yet again, another memorable performance as the moral induced killer, while Danny Lee shines as the cop who unexpectedly develops a bond with the man he's hunting down. John Woo is at the top of his game, balancing out blistering hyperviolent action sequences (by Ching Siu-tung) along with strong melodrama and numerous instances which displays his patented themes (Christianity, morality etc). A perfect introduction to the world of Hong Kong Cinema.
