The Killer Ratings & Reviews
AV Club
Jacob Oller
Much like a schlock villain's final stand, Woo's loose remake of The Killer puts up more of a fight than you'd expect before inevitably falling to truisms. Just as crime doesn't pay, you can't shoot the same bullet twice.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Tim Cogshell
[Nathalie Emmanuel] has some chops. She has some chops and handles the weapons well.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Andy Klein
It's good that it's not just a remake, but it loses a lot of the emotional weight of the original.
Butler's Cinema Scene
Robert W. Butler
John Woo's "The Killer" feels uncomfortably like a parody of a John Woo movie. All the trademarks of the Woo style are there, but they feel forced and phony. Even kinda silly.
The Baltimore Beat
Dominic Griffin
Whether or not it's as good as the original is beside the point; it's worth the price of admission alone to watch one of global cinema's most significant living masters work within the strange new streaming normal and still pull out something of value.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
This slick and stylish remake comes off as a somewhat misguided experiment that offers an unintentional reminder of the enduring influence of the original.
Polygon
Pete Volk
The Killer implements judo into the gunplay in a way that feels indebted to the John Wick franchise, and the action doesn't just feel like a rehash of Woo's greatest hits.
Keith & the Movies
Keith Garlington
It adds enough freshness to keep this from being a retread. And it provides Woo with new inspiration to do what he does best - create proudly violent and stylishly over-the-top action that leaves fans like me giddy.

Brian Tallerico
Part of the problem here is that Emmanuel just isn't an interesting enough performer to sell the strong, silent cipher that Zee needs to be.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
Woo doesn't disappoint.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
In lesser hands those touches might be heavy-handed, but thanks to a legendary director at the top of his game, this is easily one of the best action movies of the year.
Autostraddle
Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya
I don't need Girl Power™ from my assassin movies; I want to see women in complex and morally complicated roles.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Woo has lost none of his love for the practical bravura of elaborate, ludicrous stunts, nor any of his way with camera movement and editing that complements choreography.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
I had no reason to imagine that it would be Woo's most satisfying movie of this millennium, or that repeating himself would be what finally inspired him to make something fresh. But that's the beauty of being alive, isn't it?
The Hollywood Reporter
Jordan Mintzer
If his new movie feels 25 years too late, it's also a reminder of what made the original so special in its day. Those who manage to discover The Killer through this serviceable remake would be better off revisiting the one that started it all.
New York Times
Glenn Kenny
Nathalie Emmanuel plays the soulful marauder Zee, and man, does she cause a ruckus.
ScreenCrush
Matt Singer
Not exactly subtle. Then again, Woo's movies were never known or appreciated for their subtlety.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
A mediocre remix that, for all its familiar elements, fails to improve upon a single aspect of its trailblazing predecessor.
TheWrap
William Bibbiani
It's unfortunate that a classic action film with an unforgettable emotional and stylistic impact could yield a style-free remake that prioritizes contrivance over substance.
Slant Magazine
Jake Cole
This remake is absent the far richer character development that made the original as much a melodrama as a shoot-'em-up.
