A Better Tomorrow II
I've seen this in TV before, but never watched it in full. It's another melodramatic gangster movie just like the prequel. Though the actions and drama are acceptable, the plot line is not as much. I felt the characters are suicidal in the end. Some have reason to, but many don't have strong reason to. Though it's kinda cool in the end, but it just felt not right.Anyway, it's still a good movie. It has better actions compared to the prequel. I love the part when Ti Lung used katana to finish some baddies. Kill 'em in style he did. Repeat it again and again I did. Ti Lung was a kung fu actor in the past. So it's like back to nature for him.
Story wise, I think it's not as good and dramatic as the prequel. A bit unfocused I think. Not a surprise considering Tsui Hark and John Woo fought over the direction of the movie.
Chow Yun Fat is also back with a cool trick. Sucking lighter's fire into his mouth. Damn. I bet people were getting their lips burned after watching this movie. One interesting thing, the big bad boss is always wearing white suit in both movies.
Conclusion? Watch it. You won't regret it. However, the first one is still better. Why? Because I can't wait for Mark to kill the baddies whereas I don't really care in this one.
