Premise: A violent cop loses his partner in a shootout with Triad gun runners. While seeking revenge, he teams up with an undercover officer infiltrating the same gang.
Review: John Woo's direction is masterful, making every action scene so epic that even the opening scene feels like another movie's climax. Chow Yun-fat and Tony Leung play off each other very well, making you like both their characters even when they aren't kicking ass. The last 40 minutes are one long shootout at a hospital, which both sides demolish with glorious gunplay. Overall, Hard Boiled absolutely rules.
