Mike White offers some worthy insights into the film's legacy and there's an enjoyable chat with Kenneth Hall, the author of John Woo: The Films.<br /><br />And then there's Mondo Justin....<br /><br />He seems inconsolably irritated by some Detroit film critic who presumably babbled on about the homo-erotic subtext in Woo's film. Justin brashly declares there's to be no such thing in The Killer because when has John Woo ever mentioned there was?!<br /><br />It's almost painful listening to Mike White politely explain to him that other interpretations of movies are possible beyond what the director either intended or has gone on record to state publicly!<br /><br />In other words, it's called Film Criticism 101. <br /><br />Attitude and vitriol has its place - but you gotta have the goods to back it up.<br /><br />For the record, John Woo's films are sooooooo Gay!
