Continuing on a theme from last night…Chow Yun Fat is a paid assassin with a heart of gold in John Woo’s 1989 “The Killer,” a classic badass variation on the twice-filmed weepy, “The Magnificent Obsession.”
When I described this movie to a friend of mine with more PC tastes than I, he asked “is it gratuitously violent?”
“I don’t know,” I responded. “Is ‘Singin’ in the Rain‘ gratuitously musical?”
