John Woo actioner featuring Chow Yun Fat as Tequila, the titular 'hard boiled' cop, trying to track down a weapons smuggling ring that killed his partner. The body count is high, the violence is pretty hard core and the story is pretty good. Plenty of dual pistol, jumping through the air action, as you'd expect from Woo.
The terrible, terrible, terrible dubbing marred it for me though - the DVD I watched had no original language/subtitle option, so I was stuck with Chow Yun Fat sounding like an Oxbridge graduate crossed with a New Yorker.
My rating: 7.8 / 10
