Review of Fulltime Killer (2001) by Juli N — 12 Apr 2013
Johnnie To trying to do kathryn bigelow meets tony scott with John Woo action. For typical Johnnie To movies thus far, this has double the style and substance compared to the dull triad movies that people think are high art just for being different.
An action-drama with a fresh but unsatisfying plot, it's somewhere between amazing and awful and it is tough to decide. I respect the international appeal attempt. I feel the To and La-Fai team is still learning here but improving quickly.
This is their big sell out commercial flick and it's goofy and yet very watchable. I wouldn't be able to recommend it however.
