You can watch Hard Boiled (1992) for free on Kanopy.

A cop who loses his partner in a shoot-out with gun smugglers goes on a mission to catch them. In order to get closer to the leaders of the ring he joins forces with an undercover cop who's working as a gangster hitman. They use all means of excessive force to find them.

Gunplay transcends mere violence here, evolving into a rhythmic, balletic spectacle of flying brass and muzzle flashes. The hospital hallway shootout sets a frantic standard for kinetic choreography that most modern blockbusters fail to replicate.
