About

You can watch The Killer (1989) for free on Kanopy, rent on Apple TV+, or buy on Apple TV+.

Mob assassin Jeffrey is no ordinary hired gun; the best in his business, he views his chosen profession as a calling rather than simply a job. So, when beautiful nightclub chanteuse Jennie is blinded in the crossfire of his most recent hit, Jeffrey chooses to retire after one last job to pay for his unintended victim's sight-restoring operation. But when Jeffrey is double-crossed, he reluctantly joins forces with a rogue policeman to make things right.

A cool, detached assassin finds his rigid code shattered when a stray bullet leaves a nightclub singer blind. This kinetic ballet of gunplay and heartbreak transforms a standard underworld tale into something deeply soulful.
