Hard Boiled

When his partner is killed by gun-running smugglers, a tough Hong Kong cop (Chow Yun-fat) will team with an undercover agent / triad hitman (Tony Leung Chiu-wai) to bring them down. From a spectacular teahouse shootout to an incredible battle through a hostage-filled hospital, Hard Boiled is a masterpiece of bullet ballet and heroic bloodshed from director John Woo, a carefully choreographed, endlessly exciting stunner of poetic violence that has permanently left its mark on action cinema.
