Movie No. 93 (2016): A BETTER TOMORROW
A Better Tomorrow (1986)
This stylish, super-charged action movie is now a classic. It never fails to deliver a gratifying entertainment that I don't see in many too-much-hyped Hollywood blockbusters in the past years. This story of two brother who are on opposite sides of the law may not be original, but it's the expertly woven circumstances thrown into the screenplay that makes it work.
Director: John Woo
Cast: Chow Yun Fat, Leslie Cheung, Ti Lung
In Chinese (Cantonese), with English subtitles
