Hard Boiled (1992)
Directed by John Woo
this film stars Chow Yun-fat, Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, Teresa Mo and
Philip Chan. A police inspector and an undercover policeman clash
over an investigation into gun smugglers in Hong Kong.
Compared to Woo's
earlier The Killer (1989) this is a weaker film with less character
and less artistic depth. The story is fairly simple and particularly
Chow Yun-fat's character takes it's inspiration from a number of
western detective stories. What makes this film worth watching is Woo
turning the action all the way up with plenty of massively over the
top action sequences to keep you entertained.
4/5
