A definitive restoration of John Woo’s action masterpiece.

The Killer, directed by legendary filmmaker John Woo, remains one of the most influential action films ever made—defining the “heroic bloodshed” genre and inspiring decades of filmmakers worldwide. Chow Yun-Fat delivers one of his most iconic performances as a remorseful Hong Kong hitman who accidentally blinds an innocent woman during a job. Determined to help restore her sight, he agrees to take on one final hit—only to be betrayed and targeted by his own employers. While evading a relentless and unorthodox police detective, he is forced into a violent struggle between honor, loyalty, and redemption.

This Limited Edition 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray release presents the film in its most pristine form to date, featuring a brand-new 4K scan from the original camera negative, Dolby Vision HDR, and an extensive collection of archival and newly produced bonus features.
