The Killer

(1989)Directed by John Woo110 min · RAction, Crime, Drama, Thriller
“One vicious hitman. One fierce cop. Ten thousand bullets.”

A nightclub singer named Jennie (Sally Yeh Chian-Wen) is blinded in the crossfire of a hit, and the man whose bullets did it cannot stop thinking about her. He is Jong (Chow Yun-Fat), a Triad assassin who treats killing as a craft, and he takes one last job to pay for her operation. John Woo sets the film around that deal, and it is double-crossed, with Jong and Insp. Li Ying (Danny Lee Sau-yin) both now at risk.
