Action-packed and extremely stylish, The Killer marks the third collaboration between John Woo (Face/Off and Mission: Impossible II) and Chow Yun-fat (The Replacement Killer and Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon). Chow plays a hired killer who blinds a singer Jennie (Sally Yeh) during his last job. Wracked by guilt, he decides to take up a few more jobs so that he can pay for her eye operation. Two cops, Lee (Danny Lee) and Randy (Kenneth Tsang) observe the killer at work, they find there is more heart to him than meeting the eye.
