The Killer
Recommended
1989's The Killer, John Woo’s two-fisted (each fist closed around a pistol, of course) melodrama is 100 percent silly soap opera bullshit, but the commitment and the energy from all involved in bringing it to lurid life is still amazing to behold, especially when it comes to Chow Yun-Fat, operating at the peak of his charisma—a level maybe only two or three other movie stars have ever attained in the history of film.
