Today, it stands like an ancient cathedral, a monumental achievement that's impossible to imagine being made in the year 2024. It's a magnificent action melodrama overloaded with heated emotions and extravagant violence.
Luckily, he hasn't. This new, half-gender-flipped version of The Killer, set in France... has roughly the same plot outline as the original but a totally different mood.
The Killer is being released direct-to-streaming on Peacock... that might really be the place for it. The streamers have for years been trying to sell us bloated, try-hard action clones with zero imagination or invention.
Woo does still know how to be creative with his action scenes, even when he's just playing the hits. Some of the moves in the new film are borrowed from the original.
