I think the movie you're describing is "The Killer." THe Killer is really violent & has lots of Catholic symbolism, director John WOo is Catholic. I didn't like movie at all - too macho for me.
IMHO, Hard Boiled is one of the more enjoyable John Woo movies. I think Tony plays an undercover cop in this movie (don't quote me on this one, it's been about 10 years since I've seen it) & it has a lot more humor.
I remember a scene set in a hospital & there's a shotout in the hospital. Chow Yun Fat has to carry all the babies out to get them to safety, when he's holding one, the baby pees on him - the baby was really cute, & Chow's reaction was really cute too.
But many people believe this was Tony's break out movie. He was nominated for best supporting actor @ the HK FIlm awards & it started the ball rolling for his other great parts.
He was also in John Woo's Bullet In the Head. That was a really intense & violent movie. I would not recommend seeing it unless you must be everyone of TL's movies & you have a strong stomach. TL is great, but sometimes if a movie is so bleak, even good acting can't make you want to see it.
