1. Hard Boiled
Release: 1992 | Directed by: Gordon Chan | Currently streaming: Amazon Prime Video (subscription)
What is Hard Boiled about? Hong Kong has a gun smuggling problem that led to a war between two gangs. At the center of it all is a policeman who lost his partner during a raid. Now he wants to take down the gangs with inside information.
John Woo revolutionized action cinema with his Hong Kong films. They were brutal and dark, but also stylish. One of his best films is Hard Boiled from 1992. Wild shootouts mix with classic mixed martial arts in unforgettable set pieces. Without John Woo, there might be no John Wick, and Hard Boiled still stands up to action films today.
