A Better Tomorrow III

Number one Eastern superstar Chow Yun Fat recreates his legendary role of Mark Gor, alongside Tony Leung. He falls for sexy underworld femme fatale Anita Mui and, against a background of war-torn Vietnam, changes from an easy-going young hoodlum to the overcoated, tooth-pick-choming, two-gun-toting gangster supreme already familiar from Woo's earlier classic. A stylish rites-of-passage tale of double-dealing intrigue, obessive gun fetishism punctuated by outbursts of shocking slo-mo violence. (official distributor synopsis)
