John Woo's explosive Gun-Fu masterpiece The Killer stars Chow Yun-Fat as disillusioned assassin Ah Jong who accidentally blinds a lounge singer during one of his jobs, now determined to take on one last job to get the money for a vision-restoring surgery for the girl. Like other John Woo classics like A Better Tomorrow or Hard Boiled, the film's impeccably choreographed gunfights and stylized fight scenes redefined the action genre and cemented the legacy of both Woo and Chow Yun-Fat.
