The Killer

John Woo is very interested in the concept of forgiveness and redemption. He displays characters going to great lengths to acquire such. These characters not only seek forgiveness from others, but within as well. Tormented with their past actions and what kind of person it makes them, they’re always striving to right their wrongs. But at what cost? More bloodshed? Is it justified? These are the things Woo is so good at picking at in his films, and The Killer is all about it.
