HARD BOILED or THE KILLER


which one did you like better and which had the best action?

The Killer, since it had much more sympathetic characters (the ones in Hard Boiled are just catalysts for the shootouts), and had a lot more going on thematically. As for best action, I'd say The Killer, since it's the perfect blend of emotion and bloodshed. Just watch this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf2Htu83Zoc

Both are great but The Killer has a slight edge.

The Killer - 10
Hard Boiled - 9.5

I like Hard Boiled better. The Killer is still excellent, though.

I love Hard Boiled but I do prefer The Killer, thought the ending was better.

reply

Hard Boiled. I love the killer but the ending was to sad:(

reply

I don't see what's so great about Hard Boiled really. So, The Killer for me.

reply

Hard Boiled all the way. The Killer is up there though.

reply

Both have simply astounding, breathtaking action scenes, but The Killer is one of the most beautiful movies ever created.

The Killer. Better acting sequences, better Chow-Yun Fat, better drama, ending and so on. Hard Boiled was good but it got much more flaws and Chow-Yun Fat was little annoying it (Tony Leung and Anthony Wong were great, though.)

reply

The killer it has far more emotional depth to the characters and intense action sequences that dont just focus on body count :P

reply

Both are great, but I'll go with The Killer

THE KILLER = BETTER STORY
HARD BOILED = BETTER ACTION

reply

That is a tough one. Maybe Hard Boiled just for the climatic hospital scene. But I love The Killer.

reply

Both are great I find, but for me, the ultimate John Woo film is A Better Tomorrow, which has the best story of them all and the better acting.

reply

Just about too close to call. Both are great movies for different reasons, as a previous poster stated.

I will give Hard Boiled the slightest edge.

reply

Hard Boiled for me, but I think Bullet in the Head is better than both.

Hard-Boiled has a little more energy but The Killer is a better film.

I thought Hard Boiled had more action, but The Killer was the better movie, IMO.
