Review of Hard Boiled (1992) by Robert H — 07 Jul 2015

This is THE John Woo film and one of the reasons Chow Yun-Fat became an international action star.

Hard Boiled contains every signature John Woo-ism and has some of the best gun play to ever see the big screen.

This is just before Woo came to the US to direct such films as Hard Target starring Van Damme and Face/Off starring Travolta and Cage.

I personally think this is his crowning achievement and while I do enjoy a large amount of the films from John Woo, none of them have really come close to containing the stylish action sequences found in Hard Boiled.

And for some reason I keep typing John Wood :P.
