Summary: great gunfights and great movie
Review: This movies is cool. I like the scence when chow yun fat is about to shoot a man in the head if he does not eat the rice.The last 40 or 30 minutes is when it start to get good. If you love voilence as much as I do buy this movie. The one I brought is not in english but it has subtitles. There is to parts where chow yun fat speakes in english in this movie. I like when he take the shotgun and start blow the men all away. then he takes the pistols slides down the stairs shooting a man. There are two good action scence but they last for 3o minutes. The last 15 minutes will have you supised it is the best part of the movie.That about all.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Woo's first GREAT film
Review: While ABT was really good it cant compare to this. This movie is ten times better then the original. Chow Yun-Fat gets to be cooler then he did in the original. now more hobling around on his leg. He gets to show his coolness. The story here was also a lot better. People say its slow but i disagree. its always entertaining due to WOo's awesome direction. He has a true eye for visuals. All the actors due expert turns. Also the action here is 1000 times better then what was in ABT one is quality but probably not quantity. And the ending. I know others have said stuff but i need to contribute. The ending is one of the top 10 gunfights ever put to film. the three main chracters take uzis, .45's, grenades, shotguns and strangely, a samuri sword, go to the mobsters mansion , and kill about 50 people while themselves being filled with holes. THe bad guys get whats coming to them. Also included is a ruthless hitman w/ out one word of dialouge. I love it when Chow and the Hitman bump into each other and start shooting..classic. Overall this is Woo's first GREAT film and not to be missed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Classic John Woo/Chow Yun Fat
Review: Y'know, John Woo movies are either love or hate. If you've seen The Killer, or Hard Boiled, and didn't like them, then look elsewhere. But if you love Woo's flicks as much as I do, break out the plastic. The movie, much like Woo's recent hit Mission Impossible 2, starts off slow and builds to a dynamite ending. The sub titles are atrocious, and some of the scenes are laughable, but DANG. The end is payoff. Also note: If you haven't seen A Better Tomorrow then the story will make NO sense to you at all.
