Hard Boiled
All time vibes movie. The music? Heat. The action? Fire. The style? immaculate. Tony Leung stunts on em for 126 minutes. He has so much (for lack of a better term) aura. Some of the best character writing in an action movie ever. Every character that had more than 3 lines you care about them.
You have to go to the 11th actor billed (on letterboxd) to find someone who didn't kill it (sorry machine gunman in teahouse). Teresa Mo and Kwan Hoi were standouts. Uncle Hoi had barely any screen time and when his death come along I truly cared and could feel his betrayal. Teresa was just so loveable and funny. She played a perfect love interest who wasn't just there for that sole propose. of course Chow Fat (insane name) was killer too.
A must watch action movie for anyone who even somewhat enjoys the genre.
