Sydney: "Don't you want to check the weapon?"
Ah Jong: "There's no need. I trust you."
Chow Yun Fat is the confident and elegant hitman Ah Jong. He is unlike any cold-blooded killer -- he is the ideal image of a man. He is heroic and has a strong sense of honour and loyalty that's becoming a hindrance in this ever changing complicated world.
The Killer is a romantic film centred on friendship, redemption, and honor.
However, like the redemption which Ah Jhong seeks was never fulfilled in the end, the friendships between the characters are not without some sort of power struggle either.
I love every aspect of this film, especially the stand-off sequence between Ah Jhong and Lee (an obsessive policeman) in Jenny's apartment. However, the more minor storyline between Ah Jong and Sydney (Ah Jhong's manager and friend) is what I would like to focus on.
