DVD Reviews of Full Time Killer
DVD Review: So Close To Being Great
Summary: 3 Stars
I really liked this film but I also see the flaws in it more and more every time I see it. The film revolves around two assassins and both have a little bit more in common than they think they do. They both are actually quite sloppy assassins when you think about it, they kill in broad daylight with there face exposed to the world. The main character named O is the best assassin in Asia but he now has a new rival named Tok that not only wants the amount of money O gets for his jobs but also his rank as top assassin.
Tok sends O challenges by showing up at his Job's but of course O keeps trying to figure out how Tok knows his every move. After a while when everything comes together you pretty much figure out that Tok is a little smarter than O just for the fact that for most of the film he had the upper hand. Tok is literally a psycho, he has no problem telling people what he really does and is always comparing the moments of his life to assassin films he's seen.
The film has a great ability to keep the viewers attention because it has great gunplay scenes and the two leading actors are ok but I feel Andy Lau outshines everyone. There are a few problems with this film one being that the subtitles are awful at times, they're white and the films picture is bright enough so the words run in with the picture and you miss what is being said. If that wasn't bad enough everyone in the film switches languages every few scenes, first they're speaking bad English then it's something else. Full time Killer is not based on one culture and takes place everywhere in Asia, some of the characters are said to be Chinese, some Japanese and some are others.
I don't know if Takashi Sorimachi (O) plays his character with little feeling or if he just played the part that way because he is supposed to be on top but only shows that when it comes to executing a job. He seems to have a hard time keeping his life together as you will see as the film goes on. It could be the fact that every time I get a chance to see Full Time Killer it's in the wee hours of the morning or because I just love films about assassins like Tok. I explained many flaws in the film in this review but still this film is entertaining and you can't stop watching it until you know the truth about everything. I truly believe that Andy Lau, his character, and the cool action scenes hold this film together. His mind frame reminds you of Gary Oldman in the professional but a little happier and he compares the films total situation to the 1995 film Assassins. In the end this movie is worth watching at least the first time it will impress you and give a dull night an exciting mood.
