When three longtime friends (Tony Leung, Jacky Cheung, and Waise Lee) become involved in the death of a rival gang member, they are forced to leave Hong Kong in order to escape the police. Their only ticket out is a free ride to Saigon working as smugglers on the black market. But it is the late 1960s and, with Saigon embroiled in the madness of the Vietnamese war, it’s very much a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. When their plans to double-cross a local gangster and steal...

Violence as poetry, rendered by a master – brilliant and passionate, John Woo’s HARD BOILED tells the story of a jaded detective nicknamed “Tequila” (played with controlled fury by Chow Yun-Fat). Woo’s dizzying odyssey through the world of Hong Kong Triads, undercover agents, and frenzied police raids culminates unforgettably in the breathless hospital sequence. More than a cops-and-bad-guys story, HARD BOILED continually startles with its originality and dark humor.

Ken Russell called it “the greatest science-fiction film since METROPOLIS.” He wasn't kidding. The single greatest American theatrical motion picture experience ever realized, controversial director Paul Verhoeven (TOTAL RECALL, SOLDIER OF ORANGE) brought ROBOCOP to life as an effects-laden work of science fiction with a satirical edge that has since become a cult classic phenomenon. The film features a resurrected and roboticized...

Iris is both Jack’s best friend and his dead brother’s ex — which makes them almost like siblings. It also complicates the not-so-platonic feelings Iris may have developed for Jack. Lynn Shelton’s 2009 film HUMPDAY balanced an out-there premise — two straight men test their male identities by making a gay porn — with a grounded understanding of male friendship and post-twenties anxiety. YOUR SISTER'S SISTER builds upon HUMPDAY’s emotional honesty and naturalistic humor, marking a true...
