Woo's remake of The Killer demonstrates how even established directors can breathe new life into their iconic works while still respecting their origins and narrative.
In creating a new experience with The Killer, Woo cleverly uses the original's framework as a point of departure, allowing him to innovate while nodding to his classic style.
Unlike other remakes that attempt to replicate success, Woo recognizes that trying to match the original film beat for beat would detract from the potential of a fresh narrative.
Although the new Killer may not reach the original's legendary status, Woo's masterful control of action and forging new talent remains evident and exciting.
