Bullet In The Head DVD – Tony Leung, Jacky Cheung

Powerful sweeping and uncompromising John Woo pulls out all the stops to deliver a film of unforgettable intensity and emotional gravity that is guaranteed to set the pulse racing with some of the finest action sequences of his distinguished career. When three longtime friends (Tony Leung Jacky Cheung and Waise Lee) become involved in the death of a rival gang member they are forced to leave Hong Kong in order to escape the police. Their only ticket out is a free ride to Saigon working as smugglers on the black market. But it is the late 1960s and with Saigon embroiled in the madness of the Vietnamese war it’s very much a case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. When their plans to double-cross a local gangster and steal a box of gold from him go awry the men find themselves captured by the Viet Cong and accused of working for the CIA. Incarcerated in a prisoner of war camp their loyalties are tested to the very limit when one of the trio sets about betraying his closest friends…
