Bullet in the Head

(1990)Directed by John Woo136 minAction, War, Crime
“Once The Best of Friends, Now The Worst of... Enemies!”

Ben (Tony Leung Chiu-wai) is a young man from the Hong Kong slums, close to his two oldest friends, Frank (Jacky Cheung Hok-yau) and Paul (Waise Lee Chi-Hung). After they kill a gang leader by accident, the three leave for Saigon in wartime, and things only get worse there. John Woo writes, edits and directs it himself, staging the violence with the same intensity he gives the friendships.
