Absolutely the worst movie.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

When talking to friends about The Killer,I would get told about John Woo's Heroic Bloodshed epic Hard Boiled,but despite seeing Killer a number of times,I never got round to seeing this title. With a Hong Kong challenge coming up on ICM,I decided it was time to get on the boil.View on the film:Bringing the curtain down on his Heroic Bloodshed/Hong Kong era in a similar fashion to Dario Argento's 1987 Giallo Opera, (both films did not do as well as expected in their domestic markets)co-writer/(with Barry Wong and Gordon Chan) co-star/ directing auteur John Woo reunites with cinematographer Wong Wing-Hang to conclude the visual motifs that span his credits,which fly into view from the opening bird cages in the tea house shoot-out shaking with slo-mo shootings, freeze frames and mountains of debris landing on Woo and Wing-Hang's "Bullet Ballet." Holding everyone hostage in a hospital, the pristine, metallic walls sharply reflect Woo's ultra-stylisation, fired up with unleashed whip-pans and extended tracking shots that give the cracking action a breathless atmosphere.Changing the plot just a week before filming, the decision by Wong/Chan and Woo to pour Tequila on the side of the law brilliantly crystallises the themes of Heroic Bloodshed, via the rich loyalty between Tequila and Alan, (named after Alain Delon's Le Samouraï loner) the feisty attitude of Teresa Chang to get deeply involved in the fighting and a relaxed mind-set on using extreme measures to take out cops/baddies. Introducing Tequila playing Jazz, the writers cleverly place moments of close-up calm between the action to dig into the contemplation Tequila makes over how to get the most people out of the hospital alive. Facing bloodshed for the final time, Chow Yun-Fat gives a blistering performance as Tequila,who bounces along lively with Tony Chiu-Wai Leung's anxious Alan,and keeps a knife-edge alert in the explosive battles that never go off the boil.

Am a huge fan of yum-fat chow this movie is super, casting is good, fear less cops , undercover operations the Ton of gun fights, Office romance, It's a good action movie to watch Actually I watch the movie when I was kid few days before I watch again still so Interesting to watch again. Thanks to John whoo creating a wonderful story.

Hell-bent on revenge after his partner is killed by firearm smugglers, a maverick detective forms an uneasy alliance with an undercover cop to take down the smugglers in this popular Hong Kong action movie. The film has received much praise over the years for its creatively choreographed action sequences and the large degree of imagination placed into the action does not disappoint, but the film is never quite the cohesive whole that it could have been. The plot comes second to the action every step of the way. 'In the Mood for Love''s Tony Leung is solid as the internally divided undercover cop who dreams of going to Antarctica where it is "always light" to escape the darkness of never quite knowing for sure which side of the law he is on. Chow Yun-Fat is less impressive though as the loose cannon cop and the whole revenge motivation is very formulaic. The two leads also learn to get along very quickly given all the initial tension between them. John Woo's directing style is, however, more detrimental than any arguable gaps in the screenplay. The energy that Woo exhibits behind the camera is undeniable with slow motion shots, dreamy dissolves and 'wipe' scene transitions in the mix, but through relying on so many unsubtle techniques, Woo's directing style constantly calls attention to itself, which at times makes it hard to become immersed in the action. If one takes a greater interest in action sequences than narrative elements, this is not likely to be a problem, but those who prefer traditional filmic storytelling may be best advised to proceed here with caution.

An absolutely ballistic, no-holds-barred, over-the-top yet purely unadulterated action extravaganza to come out from Hong Kong during the the early 90s, Hard Boiled takes action in cinema to a whole new level with its heart-pounding & jaw-dropping sequences and cements John Woo's reputation as the most influential director when it comes to action filmmaking.The story of Hard Boiled concerns two ace cops; one is a tough-as-nails detective in his department while the other one is working as an undercover agent & has risen sharply in the underworld over the years. The plot covers their initial friction with each other followed by a mutual partnership as the two eventually team up to take down & wipe out Hong Kong's most ruthless mobster & his crime syndicate.Directed by John Woo, the film is action-packed from start to finish & features some of the most breathtaking stunts ever captured on camera. The story is equally gripping & never really gets discarded during the moments of action. Cinematography makes heavy use of slow-motions & clever angles during the action sequences yet every detail is firmly captured. Editing keeps the story explosively paced, and the background score makes effective use of jazz tracks to go with the plot.Coming to the performances, the two most impressive work comes from Chow Yun-fat & Tony Leung as the ace detective & undercover agent respectively and both exhibit a charismatic screen presence throughout the film's runtime. Anthony Wong also chips in with a brilliant contribution as the head of the Triad while his henchman Mad Dog, played by Philip Kwok, effortlessly steals every moment he is in.On an overall scale, Hard Boiled is a viciously potent, highly influential, perfectly choreographed, wildly entertaining & immensely satisfying cinema that delivers everything an action junkie can ask for. A top-gear, full-throttled action spectacle & an instant classic in every way, John Woo's Hard Boiled is a must for every film lover out there & is a template for any filmmaker looking to make a quality action entertainer.Although there are moments in the film that completely defy logic, I honestly didn't even care if the rounds in those guns never seem to go empty for the gunfights are so exquisitely filmed & fabulously shot that even after two decades, it remains in a league of its own. If you still haven't seen this genre-defining masterpiece of mayhem & destruction, then get your hands on it as soon as possible. You can thank me later.
