Review of Hard Boiled (1992) by Will C — 13 Jun 2012
To be honest I was fairly disappointed after watching this film, I think I understand its cult appeal but I can't understand its rating. Its not a great film in many aspects, the story is tedious told and the dialogue is loss in translation. All in all its fairly kitsch, I wouldnt really reccommend it to anyone.
The problem is that the film is all about the action scenes and like so many action (reliant) films, there unfortunately has to be a plot involved somehow tieing these action scenes together. You couldn't just have the action scenes put into one film in a string (you would probably end up with heart palpitations), though it would be pretty immense!
The action scenes are stunningly awesome, its pretty hard to describe. It is manic, funny, gun-blazing, cool and I think though I would say this film is worth the viewing. I would implore those who love action flicks and those who are interested in filming or coordinating action scenes this film feels like it is a landmark.
