Film Description

The film which brought Hong Kong and international audiences to the stellar talent of John Woo (Hard Boiled, Face/Off) and Chow Yun-Fat (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon), this is an undeniable Hong Kong action classic, spawning innumerous imitations in its wake. Chow is the slick killer Mark, who, along with his best friend Ho, is living the high-life after a very successful counterfeiting scheme. But troubles begin when Ho’s younger brother Kit (Leslie Cheung), a trainee police officer, discovers what his brother does for a living, leading the three to a blazing finale which pushes their loyalties to the limit.

Joining the talents of Chow and Woo, A Better Tomorrow marks the first outing of a very successful pairing, which went on to re-invent Hong Kong film.
