One of the greatest action movies ever made. Stylish, pulse-pounding, unstoppable and unforgettable. Director, John Woo's action movie masterpiece. A bullet riddled classic. The action sequences are spectacular. The action is explosive, wild, outrageous and energetic. Chow Yun-fa... read more
At the time of its release, this was John Woo's final Hong Kong film before making the move to Hollywood. He has since returned to the East within in the past couple of years, but that still doesn't diminish the fact that this was one doozy of a farewell, and just an incredible a... read more
Hey!" Chow Yun Fat says, covering a baby's eyes. "X-Rated action!" He's not wrong: Hard Boiled is a film clearly not afraid to embrace its genre's excesses. While most modern action films (Smokin' Aces for one) aspire to some sort of grand intelligence while providing shoot-outs ... read more

Cool, stylish, vastly entertaining Hong Kong actioner from John Woo, in top form. Full Review
The film is a life-support system for its third act. Full Review
A moody, tense, moving and action-packed crime drama -- one of Woo's very best. Full Review
The action sequences here are less overtly beautiful than in his previous films, but they're far more complex and explosive. Full Review
The kinetic action set pieces of Hard-Boiled are so tightly-wound, so intense, that they will either exhilarate or scare off action fans bred on the relatively lame offerings provided by major Hollywo... Full Review
Hard Boiled takes Woo's signature gunplay to even more hyperbolic extremes than he had previously achieved. Full Review
