If you loved Rikidozan: A Hero Extraordinaire, try A Better Tomorrow
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 Song Hae-sung, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Rikidozan: A Hero Extraordinaire, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What A Better Tomorrow is
Rain-slicked docks at twilight, a switchblade flicks open. One brother in a navy overcoat aims a pistol at the other behind a wall of shipping containers. Feels like a John Woo remake filtered through Korean noir paperwork.
