The Killer - Someone Deserves to Die

John Woo’s straight-to-Peacock remake of his own action classic is shockingly good.

...super-violent South Korean thriller with well-coiffed assassin.

...action master John Woo brings gravity and beauty to assassin story.

...an entertaining, crowd-pleasing banger that stands up to multiple views. It’s a superior hit-man romp that doesn’t outstay its welcome from a director who misses the target less than his protagonist.

It does prove that Emmanuel’s got action star chops, and I wouldn’t be mad if she and Sy were reunited in a sequel that sent these two outsiders out on another adventure together.
