| Pros |
Body count, the action, the charisma, everything! |
| Cons |
Nadda. |
| Bottom Line |
The gun-play film that all other gun play films are compared to - none have come that close! |

| Pros |
Amazing action and stunts, lots of shooting and explosions |
| Cons |
Some of the in-between stuff is a little cheesy |
| Bottom Line |
Hard Boiled is a must-see action movie. |

| Pros |
Brilliantly choreographed action, Chow Yun-Fat , Tony Leung & Anthony Wong , production design |
| Cons |
An insanely violent film. Bad English dubbing--watch it in Cantonese. |
| Bottom Line |
Action flicks don't get much better than this. The Criterion Edition of Hard Boiled is highly recommended. |

| Pros |
Action packed, with all the elements to make perfection, like violence for instance. |
| Cons |
Violence. There's a lot of it. Maybe enough to get an X rating. |
| Bottom Line |
This movie is such a John Woo film, it's so good, man just see it. |

| Pros |
Chow Yun-Fat and Tony Leung's acting; incredible action scenes |
| Cons |
Formulaic; sometimes excessive levels of exposition; extremely violent |
| Bottom Line |
Probably John Woo's best film other than The Killer , an action-packed film with solid performances. |
