Hard Boiled

CriticsCritics: 89
AudienceAudience: 7.9

After losing his partner during a shoot-out with gun smugglers, a determined police officer pursues the criminal organization responsible. To get closer to its leaders, he joins forces with an undercover officer posing as a gangster hitman, plunging both men into a violent criminal war.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want wildly stylized Hong Kong action, explosive gunfights, and larger-than-life intensity; Not for you if you prefer realism, restrained violence, or character-driven drama.
