Tsui Hark's prequel to a "A Better Tomorrow".
Plot: Mark-Gor (Chow Yun-Fat) travels to Vietnam to bring Mun (Tony Leung Ka-Fai) and Mun's father back to H.K while Mark-Gor's father is in danger on the Mainland.
Do I like this movie? Yes. But John Woo would have done it slightly better since his gunfighting action scenes are more stylish than Tsui Hark's.
I thought this was a great movie, but not as good as the first two! And Chow Yun-Fat is cool as always!
This is the best film. You will love it. It is very funny.
Guns, Chow Yun Fat, more guns... What more do you want from a movie?

Ok movie. I think only for hardcore Chow Yun Fat fans. Not nearly as good as the first one.
| Tsui Hark's "A Better Tomorrow 3" is often criticized since his vision for the series was much different than the previous two john woo ABTs. Hark decided to focus more on the relationship of the characters and thus created more of a period drama than a classic woo style bullet ballet. Don't think that there is no action because there are a few impressive action sequences that are worthy of the ABT reputation. Part 3 is actually a prequel to the first two classics and Chow Yun Fat plays Mark again, but the character has few similarities to mark from ABT 1. Actually sometimes he comes off as a bit of an idiot which probably further infuriates ABT diehards. This film does have a beautiful setting, some good action, and great music (Lowell Lo of course).
I think people would enjoy this a little bit more if they forget about the two previous "Better Tomorrows" and look at it like a totally different film. |
In my opinion, this is the worst one out of the whole series. 1 and 2 were awesome, 3--stay away from 3. The only redeeming part of this movie is the theme music.
This movie sucked. It had some of the worst shootout effects ever. Only good thing was Chow.
