The Killer

Didn't know if I could make it past the 20 min mark. Spoiler: I didn't. The stiffness and panning of the camera made me want to kill. It looks cool, the action looks great too. The overused slow-mo shots and lighting, the stunts and effects, it was great but the script, acting, and slightly stupid plot made me want to kill...even more. If this movie aimed to create a killer from pure boredom and aesthetics, then John Woo sir, you have achieved your goal. Overdone and overused yet surprisingly undercooked. I rather the quality was in the script rather than the lens.

Some fun, classic John Woo action sequences in here (the man is concerningly obsessed with filming slow-motion doves) and it's easy to root for Nathalie Emmanuel (a favorite Game of Thrones actress), but there are some very clunky / hokey scenes that just don't work.

Nice Movie
