Inspector Yuen, nicknamed 'Tequila', is a courageous cop who shoots from both hips, never reloads and never misses. A tough guy with a soft spot and infinite charm, Tequila is the only man for the job of cleaning up the city, and when his partner is killed in a spectacular shoot-out, he decides to take the investigation into his own lethal hands.
With a body count well into three figures, more firepower than you can shake an Uzi at, stylised adrenalin-pumping action sequences which make Hollywood blockbusters look like Bambi, this is still John Woo's most outrageous flick!

This is probaby one of the best known HK action flicks, and its easy to see why. John Woo displays his prowess with action movies effortlessly with this film, the formula being spot on in terms of its stylish look, actors, action choreography and story. Chow Yun Fat and Tony Leung make excellent leads, the former being at the peak of his game. If only Hollywood could produce films as good as this!
Bullets. Blood. More bullets. What more could you ask for??

A truly superb slice of action cinema, and one which I also think is Woo's finest achievement, even stacked against 'The Killer'. A more accomplished, frenetic ballet of blood and bullets has never been committed to celluloid, and probably never will be!
Amazing, incredible - watch it then play the game! :)

Wow, this is one of Woo's finest. Spectacular action sequences packed to the brim with explosives and then some!
Along with Woo's impeccable directorship, this is without a doubt Chow yun fat's best performance, a classic.
A legendary and controversial movie back in the days and still is, an endless stream of fans awaiting for more, a sequel perhaps? Who knows but in the meantime, they've created a game based on the movie.
Titled STRANGLEHOLD (for PS3, 360 & PC), this is game is all about next-gen, real time damage physics (bullets and bodywise), countless enemies, this game does the movie justice and beyond. Think of it as an inspiration to the Max Payne games with a hint of Tequila! Yes indeed, a lethal combination!
So, overall then, if you're into no brains die hard action combined with a fantastic and convincing storyline then this is the movie for you! Watch the movie, then play the game or play it first or whichever, just make sure you don't miss out! :)
