"Though so much in The Killer came to be parodied by others or exaggerated by John Woo himself, it is a monumental achievement in camera direction, atmosphere, stylized violence, and genre storytelling. Woo is at the peak of his directorial powers, and Chow Yun-fat is at his most charismatic. Action really doesn’t get any better than this."

"This chronicle of history’s hundred deadliest wars and massacres, including death tolls, is a good way to settle bets (who was worse, Genghis Khan or Hitler?), brush up your history, and marvel at the cruelty and stupidity of our species. It was a useful source when I wrote “The Better Angels of Our Nature: Why Violence Has Declined.”"

Bit too violent (0 more)
Watched the first episode last and I'm liking it so I laughed a lot for its half an hour running maybe it could be a bit longer and the violence tonned down abit but it's still good. Voice acting Kayley cucoco is well suited for Harley quinn. Anyway that's Thursday nights sorted

Brutal, downbeat western, notorious for its violence. In the 1910s a gang of outlaws takes refuge from bounty hunters in Mexico and enter into a shaky alliance with a corrupt general. Basically another film about the death of the old west, but less romanticised than (say) Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid; these are hard men in a harsh world.

Quite apart from the volcanic spasm of violence that makes up the climax, the film is notable for its careful ambiguity - the gang eventually earn your respect and sympathy despite their flaws, while the question of who, if anyone, is the good guy in this story is left wide open. A tough film about tough men, but great performances and intelligent film-making make it well worth watching.
