“If you live by principles, you have nothing to fear.”

In the neon lights and symmetrical shattering of it all. Loud bangs and suave music accompany everything twisted up into the shredder. All morals and principles tested. A man dragging his life anew for his brother, a man dragging his friend out of depths, a brother facing the daunting task of forgiveness. The meshing and clashing off all relationships intertwining is so pure of life. It’s disgusting and maggot filled and just flat out barb wire to chew on, as life can be. That raw beauty shines so hard as blood flies across neon lights and tears are shed in the brace of a hug. Truly such a magnitude of emotion on display, real men being emotional in all capacity’s with each other. A true roar of emotion in an absolutely thrilling action. Drama centered while having all the Woo flair we all get googly eyed over each and every time.

a melodramatic tale of penance and making things right, a better tomorrow really worked for me, maybe even more than john woo’s own “the killer.” this may be more raw and unpolished, but its heart made me much more engaged with the characters. sung tse-ho’s genuine desire to change and repent drives the movie, and i couldn’t help but root for him. it’s also great seeing how he contrasts with his younger brother kit. one moves toward the light, the other consumed by vengeance, alienating his own family and risking his life and career in pursuit of shing. 

yes, it may feel a bit cheesy and dramatic, but a better tomorrow plays it straight, and eventually, i found myself willing to engage with it openly. i felt pain watching kit push away his brother, letting his anger blind him to his father’s final wish. i felt sad seeing mark’s wide grin fade as times went hard. i felt inspired by ken, who selflessly gave ex-convicts a chance, and even at the hardest times, he pushed the people around him to stick to their principles. 

for 90 minutes, i escaped into another world full of dramatic pianos, guns that never run out of bullets, and a melodrama i couldn’t get enough of. that’s the magic of a better tomorrow.

I'm more in the realm of appreciation for this movie. The dynamic between the brothers was strong, the visual flair was nice, and Woo's direction of the action is stellar.

Unfortunately, I didn't really get anything out of this.
