John Woo's The Killer is one of those rare films whose evident flaws somehow add to the experience (guilty pleasure?), instead of detracting from it. It's an exercise in quantity over quality, but the importance of this film goes well beyond that.

Yet, it has a lot of heart, like Chow Yun-Fat's character. It takes its overly-commercial denomination and delivers something that is interesting, involving and new (to some degree).
