If you loved A Better Tomorrow, try Bullet in the Head
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by John Woo, and they both carry the foreign gem, raw mood tags, and they sit in Action / Crime territory. If that's the register that drew you to A Better Tomorrow, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Bullet in the Head is
Hong Kong, 1967. A wedding banquet, abruptly shattered glass. Three friends on the run after a Triad killing, desperate and soon deeper in the Saigon black market during the Vietnam War. Woo's pre-Hollywood peak is a brutal war-is-hell riff.
