“Woo’s best and most personal film.”
—Vulture
“At his peak, Woo didn’t build set pieces — he emptied armouries, unleashed firestorms.”
—Little White Lies
No Chow Yun-fat this time, but Tony Leung Chiu-wai is a pretty good consolation prize as John Woo tells the story of three petty criminals in 1967 who, fleeing a powerful mob boss, go from the frying pan into the fire as they flee to wartime Saigon. Woo considered this his APOCALYPSE NOW, and you’ll see why. New 4K restoration.
