I don't know how many people have seen the Killer, but to me that and Hard Boiled represent John Woo at his best before he came to America and made Mission: Impossible 2. Broken Arrow and Face/Off were fun to watch, but his work with Chow Yun Fat was really his best.
My thoughts on this are simple. Do you think it would be easier to just release a really great dvd of the original like they did with Hard Boiled or Jackie Chan's Police Story movies rather than make a whole new movie that tries to be "hip" with American pop culture. Sure there's a chance it could end up being good like the Departed, but first I'd rather not have to pay $40 or more just to get the original on dvd since every edition was discontinued shortly after release.
