I bought this movie because I was a big fan of Hard Boiled, another film by John Woo. I can say that although different from it's 'heroic bloodshed' brother, it definitely did not disappoint. It seems Woo focused more on the story in this film more than the wave after wave of visceral mayhem in films such as The Killer and Hard Boiled. Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of those movies as well, A Better Tomorrow just doesn't have as high a body count. Having said that, there are plenty of amazingly choreographed gun fights in this film, delivering the trademark John Woo style of action. Future Hong Kong superstar Chow Yun-Fat plays more of a supporting role in this film, as opposed to being the protagonist of Hard Boiled, so if you're expecting a Hard Boiled clone, you will be disappointed. So if you are a fan of Hong Kong crime thrillers or just action movies in general you should look into A Better Tomorrow for sure!Read full review
This was the wrong product. I ordered ‘A Better Tomorrow 1’. I received ‘ A Better Tomorrow 2’. Since I had previously owned both copies I definitely can distinguish the two.

This movie is so good! Very 80’s! Totally recommend it.

What's not to like? It's a classic Chow Yun Fat/John Woo movie. I only wish there were more sequels.
