The Killer (2024)
Legendary action director John Woo (Silent Night, Mission: Impossible II, Face/Off) brings us an English-language reimagining of his 1989 Hong Kong classic The Killer.
Emmy nominee Nathalie Emmanuel (Ramsey in the Fast Saga and Missandei in Game of Thrones) stars as Zee, a mysterious and infamous assassin known, and feared, in the Parisian underworld as the Queen of the Dead.
During an assignment from her shadowy handler, Zee refuses to kill a blinded young woman in a nightclub. The decision will disintegrate Zee’s alliances, attract the attention of a savvy police investigator, and plunge her into a sinister criminal conspiracy that sets her on a collision course with her own past.
Golden Globe nominee Omar Sy (Lupin, the Jurassic World franchise) co-stars, along with Teen Choice winner Sam Worthington (Jake in the Avatar films).
IndieWire calls The Killer “shockingly good,” saying: “Woo rediscovers what made his work so much fun,” while The Guardian affirms that “Woo… still knows how to stage mayhem more inventively than a hundred other Hollywood up-and-comers who probably worship the original Killer.”
