ohn Woo’s HARD BOILED is one of the defining action films of the 1990s and a landmark of Hong Kong cinema.
When veteran cop “Tequila” Yuen sets out to bring down a ruthless gang of gun runners, he finds himself caught in a deadly conflict that stretches from the streets of Hong Kong to a hospital turned battlefield. Forced into an uneasy alliance with an undercover agent deep inside the criminal organisation, Tequila must navigate betrayal, divided loyalties and escalating violence as the operation spirals out of control.
Directed with astonishing energy and style, HARD BOILED represents the action genre at its most exhilarating. Combining balletic gunfights, spectacular practical stunts and moments of surprising emotion, John Woo crafts a thrilling crime epic that remains hugely influential more than three decades later.
