I don't usually rate movies badly, so I'll give 7/10 because the actors all acted well given the limited material. Ben, Paul and Frank are all characters that are very real. Frank as the friend who is constantly being beaten up by his mum, but is totally loyal to Ben and Paul; Paul, the good friend turned bad, convincingly played by Waise Lee, though how his character eventually joins a company, or how TLCW's character, Ben has a son is not well explained. From the time frame of the movie, it didn't seem that they were in Vietnam for very long, for this I feel the producers should have explained how long Ben was away in Vietnam. The last part of the movie where there is a showdown between Ben and Paul seems to dominate, and hence makes the plot look as though it is hanging from the threads. What a pity, they had some really good actors in this movie, but the plot needs greater development...remake, anyone?
I've heard this film referred to as the Chinese "The Deer Hunter". Excuse me? Imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, and Woo does imitate often, but that comparison is an insult to the former. I had great anticipation before finally seeing this film on video and I was thoroughly disappointed by the end. Woo may have displayed great ambition with the story and budget but the end product fails miserably. Woo seemed to honestly be trying to make more than an action film here but he picked the wrong era to tell the story about. The lack of period research is quite obvious in everything from the clothing to the music to the military hardware used. The shootouts aren't enough to make this one worth watching. Stick with Woo's crime flicks.
This is John Woo's worst movie. He tried to make an ambitious, powerful movie but it turn out to be pure crap. Unless you are Asian and you relate to this maybe, but this is wack. Watch "The Killer" or "Hard Boiled" instead. 2 out of 10
one of the best, hardest and pitilessest war/action/drama movies ever. thank you john woo for this masterpiece. a movie which you can't get out of your mind once you have seen it.
This movie will give adults bad dreams. I wish I had a buck for every bullet that was fired in this movie. If you have any value of human life, this film will sicken you. It is way too bloody and whatever the moral story, it's killed by friendly fire.
John Woo directs an absolute merciless Vietnam war drama that is comparable to The Deer Hunter in it's power and is quite possibly one of the greatest movies of Woo's career. The movie follows three trouble-making kids (Tony Leung, Waise Lee and Jackie Cheung) who are exiled to Vietnam to escape the Hong Kong authorities after a rival gang member is killed by them, once in Saigon the run into "The Viet Cong" who are far worse than the HK authorities and their rival gang and what the V.C do to our trio makes them regret in all their hearts that they didn't go to prison in the much safer Hong Kong. A Bullet In The Head would be a tale about friendship overcoming the hard times of war, if the friendships in the movie actually prevailed. Instead the movie gives us a heart wrenching look at war and what it does to the three friends in the movie. The kids in the movie are in the beginning not very sympathetic and give off the impression that they deserve what they get but once they go to Vietnam you realize just how much in over their head they are and Woo filters the emotion from this situation and effectively conveys a story that is hard to watch but very rewarding nonetheless. After witnessing the debacle of Windtalkers I decided to see if Woo could direct war, well it goes without saying this blows that one out of the water. This is up there with Hard Boiled and The Killer as Woo's best film. * * * * out of 4-(Excellent. A Must See!)
