Director: John Woo
Mobsters are smuggling guns into Hong Kong. The police orchestrate a raid at a teahouse where an ace detective loses his partner. Meanwhile, the two main gun smugglers are having a war over territory, and a young new gun is enlisted to wipe out informants and overcome barriers to growth. The detective, acting from inside sources, gets closer to the ring leaders and eventually must work with the inside man directly.
An action film at heart. The story of gun smuggling is just a backing just big enough to support the relentless action scenes.
Motorcycles exploding in mid-air, cars blowing up, shotguns, pistols, submachine guns, bombs…it's all here.
They all make for some of the best action sequences ever filmed. A good mix of the gritty and realistic with the improbable and totally fake. Though I think that the ending is bit too much. But what can you expect from Woo aside from a molotov cocktail of intense explosive action and violence?
Action and cult movie fans are advised to watch this film, however others might be turned off by it. 7/10
Rated R: intense strong violence
