A great Action romp

First of all, John Woo was far better when he was in Hong Kong than any of his modern day hollywood blockbusters. I saw Paycheck, one of his latest films, the other day and at the time it was average at best i thought. But after seeing Hard Boiled Paycheck simply pails into insignificance compared to it. It manages to combine stunning chorreography, a complex plot and deepens the characters believability. It acheives what most other films do by adding touches of beauty to the film, and as i mentioned earlier the choreography is stunning. It also contains some of the most spectacular fight scences i've ever scene, (the warehouse and hospital battles), and to put it in the words of Empire when the film origional came out- 'Hard Boiled is worth 10 Die Hards'
