If you loved Once a Thief, try The Killer
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by John Woo, and they sit in Action / Crime / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Once a Thief, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Killer is
Hong Kong, wet alley. A dropped pistol. Crooked triad enforcers meet hot lead. A singer's eyes pay the price. To settle debts, the remorseful hitman takes one last contract, then finds himself betrayed. Now, only a renegade cop can help him. Woo's morally operatic actioner remains a high-water mark.
