John Woo's long-unavailable action masterpiece, newly restored!
Chow Yun-Fat stars as a cop who loses his partner in a shoot-out with gun smugglers and goes on a mission to catch them. In order to get closer to the leaders of the ring, he joins forces with an undercover agent (Tony Leung) who's working as a gangster hitman. More than a cops-and-bad-guys story, HARD BOILED continually startles with its originality and dark humor.
In Cantonese with English subtitles.
“Woo has elevated the action movie into the realm of art. Infinitely more exciting than a dozen Die Hards, action cinema doesn’t come any better than this.” Mark Salisbury, Empire Magazine
“It’s nirvana for seekers of action, and it rarely gets any better than this.” Marc Savlov, Austin Chronicle
