The Killer
喋血雙雄

An honorable, jazz-loving hitman accidentally blinds a nightclub singer during a hit and takes one final contract to fund her cornea transplant surgery, pursued by an unorthodox police inspector who forms a profound code-of-honor brotherhood with him as the mob marks them both for death. John Woo's operatic action summit featuring Chow Yun-fat, Danny Lee, and white doves fluttering amid church shootouts.
