Contract Killer

Contract Killer (1998) is a Hong Kong action film starring Jet Li that you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Tung Wai, it blends crime thriller mechanics with a dry comic streak running through the whole thing.

Known in the city as "The King of Killers," the assassin at the center of the story only takes contracts on people he judges deserving. When he puts down an elderly yakuza tycoon, the dead man's family posts a hundred-million-dollar bounty on the shooter's head. Hired guns arrive from across the world. One of them is Fai — young, untested, brought over by a con artist agent who's planning to collect the reward through someone else's effort.

Jet Li plays it quieter than his usual output, which suits the material: the action sequences are sharp, and the film doesn't outstay its welcome at 103 minutes. Stream Contract Killer (1998) on iFILM.
