Tea with a Killer

It was a Hong Kong Action Film Theme Day [1] Jeff Cuscutis, [2] Kurt and I also watched John Woo's The Killer. [3]

A disillusioned assassin accepts one last hit in hopes of using his earnings to restore vision to a singer he accidentally blinded, only to be double-crossed by his boss.

Plot outline from the Internet Movie DataBase [4]

Guns and carnage a plenty in this film, but the best scene has to be at Jennie's (the singer) apartment. Two men, guns pointed at each other, carry on a civil conversation as Jennie serves them tea. The movie is worth it just for that scene alone.
