John
Woo's epic action film! The story of two cops who mastermind an all-out
assault on the Triad's secret hideout, an arsenal hidden away in the basement
of a busy hospital. Many critics have christened this film "the best Hong
Kong action/gunplay movie of all time" and "easily the best action film
made by any director in the world." No other HK movie compares to HARDBOILED
for sheer bombastic exuberance. It's an amazing example of action theatrics.
Never before (nor since) have so many incredible stunts, wild gun battles
or jarring explosions been accumulated in one package!
