A Better Tomorrow (Hong Kong, 1986)


This is the film that revolutionized the way action flicks are made in Hong Kong. John Woo comes out with guns blazing in this movie that tells the tale of brothers, cops and robbers, and extremely cool shoot-outs. 

Chow Yun Fat stars as a gangster involved in counterfeiting money while Leslie Cheung stars as a cop bent on taking him down.

RATING: @@@@
