"Bullet in the Head" & "A Better Tomorrow" John Woo..anyone see?
I am thinking about getting these films by John Woo. I have only seen The Killer and loved it. I have Hard Boiled, but not a chance to watch it yet.
Anyone have either and can give me their takes before I buy? Thanks in advance for any help.

My favorite Woo films are A Better Tomorrow and A Better Tomorrow 2. I recommend watching both..

ABT parts 1 and 2 are excellent. 'Bullet in the Head' has been sitting in my 'to watch' DVD pile for a long time. From what I have read about the film it is Woo's most personal and favourite film.

A Better Tommorrow 2 is probably my favorite Woo movie, although that may sound blasphemous around here. It also has my favorite Woo shootout scenes. ABT 1 & Bullet are bother pretty slow with ABT being better IMO. I'd go for those first.
