After re-inventing the action film with The Killer, director John Woo delivers the semi-autobiographical Bullet in the Head. This film complements the stylistic flourishes that made his name with an unflinching and nihilistic brutality, resulting in one of the most intense war films ever made. Set during the Vietnam War, the story follows three best friends fleeing Hong Kong to seek fortune as smugglers, only to find themselves in a nightmarish odyssey of greed and cruelty.
