Killer Target (1991)

Killer Target: Directed by John Woo. With Chow Yun-Fat, Leslie Cheung, Cherie Chung, Kong Chu. A romantic and action packed story of three best friends, a group of high end art thieves, who come into trouble when a love-triangle forms between them.

“What makes John Woou0026#39;s action films different from the rest of the pack is his insistence on human emotions as causes for action. There is a constant tension between thought and action and how thought manifests into action constitutes the plot. In plot, John Woo is a master, as this film wonderfully shows. The plot follows the realization of the male characters that their life revolves round the female lead and all their actions influenced by her. The ending is characteristic– the villain gives up his life in order not to kill the woman he is obsessed with. As a well-crafted action film, it is no surprise Hollywood goes gaga over this HongKong director.”
