If you loved Paycheck, try The Killer

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. The Killer has roughly 3.7× fewer votes than Paycheck — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. 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 / Thriller territory. If that's the register that drew you to Paycheck, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Killer is

Bangkok. Torrential rain. A silenced pistol. Zee, legendary assassin, declines a hit on a vulnerable target, immediately attracting deadly attention. Now pursued by former allies and law enforcement alike, she must fight to survive. Woo's return to form nods to his heroic bloodshed films.
