Summary: AN ABSOLUE MUST FOR ACTION FANATICS!!
Review: With all due respect for lovers of "The Killer", this is the gretaest film John Woo has ever made.

This was John Woo's last film, before moving to the U.S. to make english speaking movies, and boy did he make a doozy with this one! This movie has unbelievable action scenes, a hell of an intense story line, very well-crafted characters! And of course, Chow-Yun Fat

This picture is crammed with so much action, yet still manges to handle a very compelling story line, about heroism, loyalty, and honor.

In a final note, I think Guiness World Rcords should look at this film for the category of most gun shots fired in a single movie. The hospital masacre scene alone appears to have five-times more gunfire than any action picture I have ever seen. I couldn't believe how long the gunplay in this movie went on for. I'm surprised the Hong Kong film industry didn't go into debt funding all the blanks that are fired in this picture!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Give him a gun and he's Superman! Give him 2 and he's God!"
Review: My favorite Yun-Fat/Woo combination and by far the best action film in the world. But along with the operatic action sequences that would make Sam Peckinpah proud comes the acting. Chow Yun-Fat is, as always, calm and supercool. Tony Leung gives a great performance as the cop who, like Donnie Brasco, is becoming more triad than cop. Another actor who did a good job is Philip Kwok as Mad Dog, the voice of reason in all that slaughtering of innocent people at the hospital. Watch this film! You will never look at American action films the same again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Quite possibly the greatist action movie ever made
Review: Hong kong's biggest movie ever.john woo is the best at makingaction flicks.I don't know antone else that could be even half as good john woo when it comes to action movies.It has the longest action scene at the end of the film that I ever saw.Chow Yun fat is about the greatist action star ever to be seen on the screen.If you want a really good action movie with the greatist action filmaker(more hit movies from john woo:Face off,Broken arrow,The replacment killers,The killer)and one of the best action stars then see Hard Boiled.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: explosive bolts
Review: Perhaps Hardboiled isn't the best film by John. But the space treatment in the gunfights, the rythm of the crimes, the strong action lines, reveale that the lesson of kungfu-movie style is at the origin of his ispiration.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: makes the U.S action film`s look tame
Review: the film was one of chow`s best, all the sceens where great but the bit where in the church was cool two of them killing 20 bad guys. You have got to see this film

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's all out war cop againist gun smugglers!
Review: Chow-Yun-Fat is a one man wrecking machine as "hard-ass" cop, Tequila! John Woo directs the non-stop shoot'em-up action. Though the length drags a little, it's still a great action movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: by far the coolest pure adreniline pumping movie in years

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Classic Action Movie
Review: This is by far the best action movie ever made. John Woo has created a masterpiece of action and intensity. Chow Yun Fat is the most legendary action hero ever.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One Of The Greatest Action Flicks Ever
Review: A non-stop rollercoaster ride that leaves the viewer almost as blown away as the bad-guys. OK so it's not a US film but don't let that put you off. It's worth watching for the mixture of comedy, good acting and direction and of course the cream of Worldwide action scenes.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Director and Action Movie Actors
Review: John Woo + Chow Yun Fat with Tony Lieung - The best action movie ever made. If you like this one, you should also check "Once A Thief" - Chow Yun Fat with Leslie Cheung.
