Our take
The Killer follows a contract killer who refuses to murder a young blind woman and is hunted for it. Expect sword deaths, gunfights, heroin trafficking, and some f-word language. A crime world that also names prostitution and gambling. Older teens and adults
Story (may spoil tone)
Zee is a feared contract killer known as "the Queen of the Dead," but when she refuses to murder a young blind woman, she finds herself hunted both by criminal colleagues and a determined police detective.

Talk after watching
- A killer draws a line at one target. What does that line say about her?
- Heroin money sits under the plot. How visible did that harm feel?
