Overview
- The John Woo–directed remake is currently the No. 2 film on Netflix UK, trailing creature feature Thrash.
- The film is an English-language redo of Woo’s 1989 Hong Kong classic, with Nathalie Emmanuel as an assassin named Zee and Omar Sy as a police investigator.
- Set in Paris, the story begins when Zee refuses an assignment in a nightclub, which pulls her into a wider criminal plot without revealing key twists.
- Critical response is lukewarm, with a 59% Rotten Tomatoes score and split views on its pacing and plotting versus its practical stunts and signature Woo style.
- Outlets note frequent confusion with David Fincher’s 2023 Netflix film of the same title, which is unrelated to Woo’s remake.
