N 1967, lifelong friends and low-end hoods Ben (Tony Leung), Frank (Jacky Cheung) and Paul (Waise Lee) opted to beat it out of Hong Kong ahead of the law and head to war-torn Vietnam, where there was money to be had in smuggling. They'd soon learn the cash would be anything but easy, between the viciousness of the local mob and the wrath of the Vietcong. John Woo's stirring, action-packed epic also stars Simon Yam, Fennie Yuen, Yolinda Yam, Chung Lin. 131 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Cantonese; Subtitles: English. Two-disc set.
