The Killer

"THE KILLER plays like THE TERMINATOR - a superbly tailored murder machine. It's surely the action film of the year." VILLAGE VOICE "Striking... blood thirsty." THE GUARDIAN "Concoted with nitroglycerine, with the combined energy of MAD MAX, ROBOCOP and THE TERMINATOR." US FILM FESTIVAL PROGRAMME "THE KILLER threatens to be the first Hong Kong movie to cross over into the American market since Bruce Lee's FISTS OF FURY." PREMIERE "One of the ten best films of the year, The Killer starts over the top, then, like some cartoon freak out, blasts through the roof. It takes your breath away." VILLAGE VOICE THE KILLER is the greatest action-packed cop thriller ever to smash its way on to the screen. The ultimate hit man versus the ultimate cop. There hasn't been such an exciting pairing since Eddie Murphy and Nick Nolte in 48 Hrs. THE KILLER surpasses the brutal impact of Clint Eastwood's DIRTY HARRY, Brian De Palma's SCARFACE and LETHAL WEAPON 2. Nothing exceeds like excess in this fast-paced and intense gangster thriller. The film climaxes in a spectacular, cataclysmic gunfight, the results of which must be seen to be believed. "...a wild gangster thriller whose body count makes World War Two pale in comparison." VIDEO BUSINESS "A limitless arsenal of handguns... sub-machine guns...matchless, truly matchless." TIME OUT © Film Workshop Co. Ltd
