"Hard. Boiled" is a work focused on portraying the life of the police, especially the inner suffering of the undercover, and almost an hour at the end of the film, it is basically a shootout and action scene. It has also become a classic paragraph in action movies.
"Hard. Boiled" is not the pioneering work of the undercover police, but it can still be seen that the later "Infernal Affairs" inspires and leads the relationship. In "Hard. Boiled", Wu Yusen has tried to dig out the pain and depression of the undercover character who lives in hell. It's just that Wu Yusen didn't cling to this path. Instead, he took the direction and turned on the road of violent aesthetics where his best bullet flies.
"Hard. Boiled" can be said to be a masterpiece of Wu Yusen's "violent aesthetics". In the film, the shooting scenes of several fierce scenes are exciting. In these huge but not messy gun battles, Wu Yusen demonstrated his ability to control the big scenes. The impact of the film is far-reaching, because before Wu Yusen, no real action gunfight movie appeared. It can be said that Hong Kong people have rewritten the "history of film entertainment".
