HARD BOILED (1992) is John Woo's seminal Hong Kong bullet ballet action film.
When a lone cop in a city of violence decides to wage war against its many gangs, he does so by playing them at their own deadly game. Soon, Inspector 'Tequila' Yuan (Chow Yun Fat A BETTER TOMORROW, CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON) comes face to face with a formidable adversary, Tony (Tony Leung - IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE, INFERNAL AFFAIRS), a hardened and lethal assassin. These two enter into a dangerous game of cunning and bloodshed that will climax in a final scene of bullets and betrayal.
