Review of Hard Boiled (1992) by Jeff B — 23 May 2008

There's enough artillery of hand-guns to supply an army in this movie, in fact that's very much what happened. Though the plot was a tiny bit hard to follow at first (mostly because of the Chinese) but after you stop worrying about that, the movie becomes gravy, with some of John Woo's trademark battles.

However, he took it a little too far in the last 20 minutes, the fight scene lasted way too long and the sequences became repetitive. However, Chow Yun-fat was great in his role, in fact it's probably one of the roles that got him famous, coming from John Woo.

Definitely a great action flick for the weekend.
