Jon Woo the Killer Omar SY
The Killer

In the wake of its high-octane Olympic extravaganza, Peacock serves up this action-thriller remake from the trailblazing director John Woo — who updates his 1989 classic and moves it from Hong Kong to Paris. It follows a lethal Parisian assassin named Zee (Nathalie Emmanuel) who refuses to kill a young blind woman at a nightclub – earning the wrath of her handler (Sam Worthington) the city’s hitmen, forcing her to team up with a French detective named Sey (Omar Sy). A criminal conspiracy, her shadowy past, and the City of Light twirl the story together.  “The movie works so well — and remains so light on its feet — because it eschews the life-or-death weight of Woo’s original in favor of focusing on the unbridled joys of resurrection.” – IndieWire’s David Ehrlich.  (Read the review.)
