Hard Boiled
This was a revelation, that opened up the door to The Killer, A Better Tomorrow, Bullet in the Head, and all those amazing John Woo crime movies. It felt like a boiling down (no pun intended) of Sam Peckinpah's style into some super cool new version and the shootouts made everything else feel tired and old by comparison.
