Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A Killer's Blues (also known in some territories as The Killer's Blues) is a 1990 Hong Kong gangster movie starring Ti Lung, in the midst of the Heroic Bloodshed hype in late 80s/early 90s Hong Kong. Having finished the second installment of A Better Tomorrow, Lung gets immediately cast into another gangster movie, but this time with more focus on drama instead of action.Ti Lung stars as Wai Yi-ming, a former hitman with a troubled past; 14 years ago on a mission to eliminate an informant, Yi-ming kills his target, right in front of his target's 4-year-old daughter, little Suet (Snow), which he didn't realize until the little girl sneaks up behind him. Overwhelmed with guilt, Yi-ming decides to bring the child to an orphanage and convince his girlfriend, Siu-wai, to adopt the girl as a foster child. But years later, when Yi-ming decides to leave his days of killing behind, he inevitably gets dragged into another triad war, and worse of all is that Suet, now going to college, will sooner or later discover the truth about her father's death.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

The Atoner: Yi-ming, who spends the next 14 years of his life in regret after killing Suet’s biological father and having his girlfriend (later wife) Siu-wai taking the responsibility of raising Suet as a single parent. He’s even shown keeping the newspaper clippings about the murder of Suet’s father among his personal belongings, to remind him of what he owed to her since she was a child. | |

| A Killer's Blues / int_967edd3a | comment |
Action Film, Quiet Drama Scene: Plenty, either between Yi-ming and Siu-wai bonding over each other, Suet showing her concern over her adoptive parents, or between Yi-ming and his Blood Brothers in the mob. In fact, after the Action Prologue, there is a good 25 minute-gap in the second act dedicated to drama with rather little action at all. | |

Anger Born of Worry: Inverted; the night Yi-ming returns home late at night, and sees Suet waiting for him, concerned over his injuries. When Suet expresses too much worry over Yi-ming, even proclaiming that she loves him; eventually this causes Yi-ming to snap completely at her in a rage, and in his anger, reveal that he killed her biological father 14 years ago. | |
