The Killer - Criterion Collection Reviews

---

Woo's best
You want action with your compelling storyline? look no further my friend you have found the perfect movie. This is without a doubt one of the greatest action movies ever made, and for alot of reasons. Besides all the bullets flying everywhere John Woo's style beats any other action director to hit the screen. The music, cinematography, and cheesy dialouge make this a movie you will never forget. Screw the plot and just watch it for the stylized action sequences, the combination of Chow Yun Fat and John Woo is unbeatable. Anyway IMO this is Woo's masterpiece and right under is Hard Boiled wich has even more action. I guarentee you will fall in love with this movie, it is one of the few action films that can be called art in a movie form.

Best version and BETTER than Hard Boiled!!!
The Criterion Collection is the BEST version of The Killer!! The image is CLEAR, they added more slow-mo action scenes, the dvd have deleted scenes and the HORRIBLE close-up of the action scenes has been cutted and addapted to the screen so you can see the action in "small" (letterbox) widescreen and and well addapted to the screen (the other versions of The Killer have a HORRIBLE camera close-up and BAD images). This version brings the best quality of the movie.

Better than Hard Boiled because it has car chases, Chow Yeun Fat use two pistols on most of the action scenes with slow-mo, the story is interesting and EASY to understand, The images, camera angles and movements, and the special effects are SO MUCH better than Hard Boiled.

P.S: The only bad things are that the sound is not "surround" and the dvd doesn't have to much to offer on special features.

ADIOS.
