It's simple. If you like action movies AT ALL, then you should watch Hard-Boiled. It's two hours of stylish mayhem, wrapped around a serviceable story.
The gunplay and stunts really are remarkable. Shotgun blasts explode like rockets. No one gets shot only once, usually it's 8...( read more)
This is the only Woo film I like but that?s mainly due to Chow Yun-Fat?s performance!
A renegade cop teams up with an undercover agent to bring down a gun runner with a massive arms cache hidden in a local hospital. John Woo is pretty useless when it comes to anything but action, so it comes as little surprise that his best film by far includes very little else. A...( read more)

John Woo's Hard Boiled is a scrumptious feast for action lovers - an explosively visceral, operatic tour de force of amazingly choreographed violence and blistering pyrotechnics that's iced with Woo
Every bit as mind-blowing as what it was hyped up to be. John Woo is the Michael Bay of the east, except Woo is actually a great director who knows how to blow shit up and kill people with style and substance. This movie starts and just keeps going, then stops just long enough to...( read more)

There's an upcoming new R1 release of this film from Dragon Dinasty, in a 2 disc special edition.
Is there a widescreen version of this available on DVD? All I can ever find is crappy full frame pan & scan...
WORDS CAN NOT DESCRIBE HOW AMASING THIS FILM IS, THE ULTIMATE ACTION MOVIE, THIS MOVIE DEFINES THE ACTION GENRE. And it baffles me how it was done with only $4 000 000! JOHN WOO IS GOD. ALL HAIL JOHN WOO
The single greatest action movie ever made. Although The Killer is better in terms of being an overall movie.
