Hard Boiled
NZIFF2025
A raid against an illegal arms shipment ends in a massacre, forcing a tough cop and an infiltrator to team up in the hunt for the triads’ empire.
John Woo’s most iconic and explosive film delivers hard-boiled gangster action, where every shootout is a display of precision and madness. Bullets fly, and people die like flies when no one knows anymore who they can trust.
“An action film to end all action films, John Woo’s technical command of the genre reaches its peak with this ballistic ballet in which Chow Yun-Fat riddles 200 gun-toting cronies in the name of justice. Pathos, however, always survives the splatter.” ~AroVideo
