A Better Tomorrow II, John Woo’s jaw-dropping sequel to his own groundbreaking heroic bloodshed classic, finds the filmmaker working full force in unleashing a complex crime saga that may be even bigger and better than the first. Woo balances a ballet of bullets, honor and loyalty to craft an over-the-top action film that still exudes effortless cool, following a cop, a reformed gangster, and a restaurateur as they team to take down the syndicate in a no-holds-barred barrage of gunfire. [SPOILER: Even though his character dies in the original, a badass Chow Yun-Fat incredibly returns, this time as the long-lost twin brother!!]
