This actually looks WAAAY better than I thought. I dunno, I suspected this would have a look similar to The Contintental or something IE: Cheap
There is some serious Hard Target vibe shots in that trailer!
I love that John got to experiment with the viligant genre with Silent Night, where the action was more restrained n' grounded for the most part. This on the other hand, looks like a true return to form for Woo.

Weird trilogy
the time between "paycheck" and "manhunt" was literally 14 years, i don't get what you're talking about when the dude then waited 6 years after that to drop another shoot em up film
is manhunt any good?
Its been sitting in my netflix watchlist forever and each time I think of watching it something else catches my eye lol
It's.... strange
Like, it comes off as K/J-Drama mostly throughout with corny music ques and the like.
But then a random action scene shows up that is Pure John Woo.
It's weird. I never finished though.
Weird trilogy
They keep making Killer movies.
Nathalie Emmanuel popped up in a vampire movie last year or maybe 2022. It wasn't good. At all.
i loved it, i obviously am gonna prefer the 80s and 90s work he did but it's definitely leaning further into comedy than anything else. i think the action in silent night was actually better, but the story of manhunt hit harder
Ok, I'll make it my next movie i watch haha.
Original movie is such a classic masterpiece (and amazing it was practically shot without a script)

Yeah, it kinda sucks cause they have what looks like a Church Set Piece in the remake, but with nowhere near the scale (lack of destruction, squibs, countless goons, etc.)
I mean, I accept that we'll never get HK shootouts like that ever again, but still...
Silent Night is a stone cold classic, IMO
Just understand that its a deliberate slow build...
again, silent night is an absurdist-ass transcendent action film, it's more like a dream and exercise in dialogue-less filmmaking than a showpiece action film, if you're not trying to laugh or enjoy everything that goes into film production then you wont have as much fun
This has NBC network TV action procedural written all over it. She feels miscast but she looks great in the outfits. I hope it's at least mindless fun.
John Woo's The Killer is one of my all time favorite films. Looks like it follow the original movie closely.
I will check it out it looks like an ok time. Suck the original is out of print and so hard to license.
Also sad we did not get the Walter Hill remake version in the 90's
You can see the ending graveyard/church is the big shoot out like the original movie.

That's literally what I thought it was until I realized it was a movie lol
The Killer might be my favorite movie ever, period.
This lacks all the style and energy and grit of that movie. This looks antiseptic in comparison to the original.
Outside of that his and Robert Rodriguez, El Mariachi how many directors do remakes of their own movies????

Eric Cantona and John Woo is a combo I never thought I'd see.
Danny Lee is the cop right? I think Sam is playing the liaison who Chow Yun was getting the jobs from.
You know what...you're right. If this wasn't a remake of argubly the greatest action movie of all time it would be a fine trailer with a decent look to it. But it's "THE KILLER", not only the greatest action movie it's also the back drop for one of the greatest Rap Albums of all time "Only Built 4 Cuban Lynx"
