Hard Boiled (1992)

Lat sau san taam

After the disappointing Once a Thief, the famous Hong Kong action director-actor duo got back on track The Killer style with this movie. High octane action movie with bullets flying everywhere and style to accompany it.

Forget counting rounds without having to reload, forget the death count and just enjoy the ride. Hard Boiled most certainly is quite the ride, despite some hiccups where director John Woo proves he could learn a thing or two from the magnificent Infernal Affairs when it comes to playing cops off undercover.

I don't think it reaches The Killer's level of stylish enjoyment either, but Hard Boiled is still one of those John Woo-Hong Kong movies that made most Hollywood action crap look childish in comparison.
