review is for the Criterion Collection DVD version. For people
new to DVDs, Criterion Collection is the gold standard of special
editions. Right off the bat, just by see that Criterion Collection
logo, you know this DVD is packed with extras galore. Now, let's
get down to the movie. Directed by John Woo, The Killer is considered
by many to be his masterpiece. This does not mean much to me,
as I've never been very impressed by the work of John Woo. I've
heard the stuff he did before coming to Hollywood was pretty
good, but I've never seen any of it and I probably never will.
His Americanized films have always seemed so low-brow, always
trying to appeal to the dumbest and most easily-entertained
in our society. His films are like Tarantino's, except lacking
the brilliant plot. Of course, it's the plots that make Tarantino
films so great, the blood and guts is just another means to
an end. |

Look at these
incredible prices on The Killer DVDs. What's that? You're not

into the 21st century. Register

my mind when I see people pay retail for items they can get
on Ebay for 80% less.
