Critically acclaimed—including receiving an Oscar nod for its screenplay—this well-crafted British crime thriller is a disturbing but hopeful movie that won't fail to make an impact.

10x10

There's no wildly unexpected twist in this psychological thriller, but the movie does well at feeding the audience gradual pieces of the puzzle and leaving them eager to see how it comes together.

The Killer
(1989)
|
Tom Cassidy
|
This 1980s Hong Kong gun fu movie has spectacular action and bloody violence, but the action is really backdrop to what is essentially a character study along the lines of a Greek tragedy.
