I think this was the first Woo movie I had seen, so I was pretty impressed. It's really sad to see how crappy his Hollywood movies are. Anyways, this movie was pretty awesome, even if the film quality was kind of bad. The intro was quite awesome and I was digging the church theme because of the juxtaposition of violence and religion (I always like it, now that I think about it). The plot was tightly constructed and the characters were interesting. Late 80s/early 90s China has always fascinated me and this adds to the greatness of The Killer. Some of the freeze frame shots had me wondering, but eventually I came to like them. While some may lament that the frequent gunfights were just a crutch that Woo used, I quite enjoyed them. Maybe it's because I'm a guy. Anyways, the characters really worked well together on screen and the film was most enjoyable. It's a shame Criterion discontinued the DVD. 9/10
