Legendary action director John Woo (Face/Off, Mission: Impossible II) returns with a radical reimagining of his 1989 Hong Kong classic, The Killer. Zee (Nathalie Emmanuel), a mysterious and infamous assassin known as the "Queen of the Dead" in the Parisian underworld, becomes the center of a manhunt when she refuses an assignment from her shadowy handler (Sam Worthington) to murder a blind woman. Her decision sets off a series of events that will disintegrate Zee's alliances, attract the attention of a determined police detective (Omar Sy) and plunge her into a sinister criminal conspiracy that puts her on a collision course with her own past.
