Happy John Woo-LY everyone!
In this series we are spending the month of July by taking a look at four movies (one each week) from one of our favorite action directors - the legendary John Woo!
We're kicking off John Woo-LY with 1992's Hard Boiled - a hard boiled detective story about betrayal, brotherhood, and guns. We discuss why this is potentially Thavy's favorite action movie - of all time!
