Hard Boiled (Hong Kong, 1992)

Mobsters are smuggling guns into Hong Kong. The police orchestrate a raid at a teahouse where an ace detective loses his partner. Meanwhile, the two main gun smugglers are having a war over territory, and a young new gun is enlisted to wipe out informants and overcome barriers to growth. The detective, acting from inside sources, gets closer to the ring leaders and eventually must work with the inside man directly.

You can't be the least disappointed in Hard Boiled. It's one of the best directed actions films ever made, an explosive portrayal of shotguns pulverizing furniture and tearing apart gangsters. Starring trusted veterans Yun-Fat Chow (The Killer) and Tony Leung (Hero), Hard Boiled should please the living hell out of you with brutal ultra-violence.




Genre: Action/Crime/Thriller
