The Killer (1989)
(Die xue shuang xiong)
Country: HK
Technical: col 111m
Director: John Woo
Cast: Chow Yun-Fat, Danny Lee, Sally Yeh
Synopsis:
A hired assassin inadvertently blinds a beautiful singer during a hit, and determines to carry out one last contract to raise the money needed to repair her sight.
Review:
Typically romantic in its premise and homo-erotic charge, Woo's action thriller rarely misses a beat and got the attention of the Hollywood studios all right, no doubt more attracted by the lavishly choreographed mayhem than the unAmerican macho sentimentality.
