Does Hard Boiled live up to the hype? Is it the best action movie ever made?. Hmm yes and no. Their are perhaps 3 or 4 action sequences in the whole film, but they do last a very long time. Not all are succesful but the majority of each sequence is pretty spectacular. But like i said, they go on far too long. The story around them is strong and interesting but the balance between the two is uneven, especially towards the finish. Yes, its a very good action film, one that has inspired hundreds i'm sure, but Die Hard, and Terminator 2 (which owes a lot to Hard Boiled) are still the best of the genre.
