Misfiring John Wick clone - The Killer review by Alphaville
A sort-of Korean John Wick that never quite works. The feeble set-up has our trained assassin hero looking after a teenaged girl played by a K-pop star (yawn, yawn). But the main problem is his stoney-faced indestructability, which robs the fight scenes of any drama. There are a couple of well-choreographed fights – one filmed in a single Steadicam take and the final one against the main blond villain, but the long between-fight scenes really sag. It always seems to be on the verge of taking off but never does. In the end I got so bored with the hero that I wanted the villain to win.
