-
"In the world of John Woo's over-the-top action movies, it seems there's no problem that can't be solved by a hail of bullets. Don't be fooled; The Killer is far more than the sum of its plot elements."
-
"The director repeatedly places the viewer at the center of the crossfire and turns the gyrating camera into the next best thing to a lethal weapon."
-
"It's as much a doomed romance as a shoot-'em-up."
-
"The most dementedly elegiac thriller you've ever seen."
