| | Believe me: plots don't come much cornea. Absurdly overpraised by some critics, The Killer is a blood-spattered oriental thriller, manufactured in Hong Kong and full of somersaulting stuntmen, cascading character-actors and perfunctorily perforated performers. The style of director John Woo (pictured) veers insanely between pretentiousness and comic-strip, nauseating sentimentality and high camp. | | |
