Review of Hard Boiled (1992) by Nick K — 20 Nov 2014
John Woo's blood-soaked, bullet-riddled, cinematic actioner is a masterpiece of action cinema, the defining shoot em up movie of the 90s with a hard as nails hero, tense, bloody shootouts and a distinctly Hong Kong style which is visually striking and suitably moody in tone.
He takes us from one adrenaline fuelled set piece to the next without letting up the momentum and as a result there is never a minute in the 2 hour running time we aren't left in awe.
