Brothers by blood. Enemies by chance. Killers by nature.
John Woo’s ‘A Better Tomorrow’ (40th Anniversary Restoration)
This story is the tale of two brothers: one a successful counterfeiter and the younger a fledgling graduate of the HK police academy. The plot revolves around the split when the younger brother learns the other is a criminal and the efforts of the criminal brother to reform. Along the way are plenty of heists, double-crosses, and shoot outs. With Lung Ti, Leslie Cheung, Chow Yun-Fat, Emily Chu, Waise Lee.
“An opera of sorts whose elaborate gunfights are its arias.” (Slant Magazine)
