Ah Chong (Chow Yun-Fat) is a hitman whose latest job takes a wrong turn when, during a shootout at a lavish nightclub, he accidentally blinds singer Jennie by firing his gun too close to her eyes. Racked with remorse, Ah Chong decides to retire from his life of crime and help Jennie get a cornea transplant. But when Ah Chong's rancorous former boss betrays him, Ah Chong receives an unexpected helping hand from hot-headed police detective Lee Ying (Danny Lee, <i>City on Fire</i>). An international sensation, <i>The Killer</i> put Woo on the radar of genre fans the world over and inspired waves of imitators, but none that could outclass it.ActionPT1H50M182026-03-20
