Comments

Steve Lee Sep 18 2022 2:31 pm The Killer is my favorite action movie of all time. It is way better than Die Hard, Avengers Endgame, The Matrix, and John Wick because the action scenes were incredible and well-choreographed and the story and acting performances were a cut above anything I saw in any other action movie.

The slow-motion shots from the Killer were amazing and heavily influenced the Matrix.
