If anyone hasn't seen John Woo's 1992 action Masterpiece Hard-Boiled throw it in your netflix queue, it's definatley worth a look. This is the movie where Woo perfected his style of filmmaking, and while the subtitles and/or dubbed voices can be distracting to those who particularly dislike them, it's well worth it. A few years back a sequel was developed in the form of a fun if not standard XBox game called Stranglehold, also worth a look if you haven't tried it yet. It plays like a Hong Kong Max Payne. There is a point to all this, it seems that Lion Rock entertainment, Woo's Production company, is gearing up another chapter of the series. We do not yet know if this will be a sequel to Hard Boiled or a continuation of where Stranglehold left off. The story was solid in both and as long as they get Chow Yun Fat attached I'm happy to plunk down the ten bucks. More on this to come.
