The Internet Archive operates under US copyright law’s fair use provisions, but user-uploaded films are often infringing. The IA responds to DMCA takedowns. However, The Killer has received surprisingly few. Possible reasons:
This is cinema at its most stylized. White doves fly before gunshots ring out. Churches become battlegrounds. The violence is hyper-stylized, slow-motion poetry. The chemistry between the hitman and the cop (the classic "bromance" dynamic) is electric, blurring the lines between law and criminality. the killer 1989 internet archive
