The Killer (1989)
1/10
A bad imitation of Miami Vice
30 July 1999
Hard to believe the ratings and the positive comments on this movie, except if we account for sarcasm. Of the few people who stayed in the theater, yesterday, most of them were there to laugh at the movie rather than enjoy it. So, it is hard to believe in the (tiny) subplot about loyalty and friendship when the story is about killing 145 people to find a pair of cornea for a lousy cabaret singer. (A great feminine role, by the way: makes you think that feminists might have a cause after all.)The main problem is that someone should have tell them that an important ingredient of a movie is a screenplay. But the producers appear to have decided to invest, instead, in some special effects (gun sparks and gore) that make you regret the average episode of Miami Vice. Which was a tv series, should I remind you; not a full feature movie.
