The Killer

This is just more proof of why I think John Woo is the greatest action director there is. I watched the extended version, and even though it’s only like 15 minutes longer and it was so long since I saw the other version that I couldn’t remember what was different, this review goes for all versions. This is right behind Hard Boiled for the greatest action films of all time. There is SO MUCH action in this 2 hour film it’s insane. Car chases, boat chase, foot chases, and an insane amount of gunfights. John Woo does what he does best with having the fights interact with the environments. The bullet time is used a lot(in a good way), explosions everywhere, fun assists with tossing guns to other people fighting, everything falling apart around them, it is exactly how action should be shot. The plot is super fun and allows for some great 2 man army gunfights. Incredible film that should be essential viewing for any action fan.
