The Killer - This is my favorite movie. It is a Hong Kong movie released in 1989. It stars Chow Yun Fat(The Replacement Killers) and is directed by John Woo (Paycheck). Usually refered to as the benchmark for action films with its high octane action style and gunfights. It is a very bloody movie but has a solid story. By the way the hero is the bad guy and the hero also dies in the end.
