Bullet in the Head - As Good As The Show
Bullet in the Head - As Good As The Show
The 1990 film Bullet in the Head engages at every turn. At once a political epic, a story about childhood friends and loyalty, as well as a tale of corruption and war, John Woo’s action-packed face-off contrasts ’60s idealism–the Beatles and Elvis–against the shifting tide in the East. It’s plain that Woo has pulled his trio of heroes straight from Sergio Leone’s Once Upon a Time in America as well as Michael Cimino’s The Deer Hunter, but there are bits of Nicholas Ray’s Rebel Without a Cause tossed in for good measure. The old Chinese way of life is fading in the face of the emergent Vietnam War and Chairman Mao’s Red Army, and Hong Kong struggles under archaic British rule. Three friends–Ben (Tony Leung), Frank (Jacky Cheung), and Paul (Waise Lee)–rub up against gang warfare, capitalism, and opportunism in a life that is strongly tinged by Western culture. Ben falls in love and wants to marry Jane (Fennie Yuen). Frank has borrowed money from a warlord to pay for his pal’s bridal bash but a rival group, led by Ringo and his thugs, are hell-bent on keeping loose-cannon Frank from keeping his promise. The boys kill Ringo in a face-off and the cops come looking for them, separating Ben and Jane. The trio escapes to exploited luck-of-the-draw Saigon to make their fortunes. Luck, however, isn’t with them. In a violent, balletic dance to honor, greed, and a teenage pledge that is challenged with adulthood, Bullet in the Head is sentimental despite its exquisitely choreographed blood bath; it’s steeped in the kind of code-of-ethics morality that has been the glue of buddy films since the beginning of cinematic time. Bullet in the Head is a tale of love and betrayal played out against a backdrop of wartime chaos, and while Woo had made other vital and vibrant movies–The Killer, Hard Boiled, and A Better Tomorrow–none were as impassioned as Bullet in the Head. That it retains its innocence at all is a tribute to this Hong Kong action auteur, who brands his movies with visual flair as well as a palette splattered with blood. –Paula Nechak

I also think Chung Lam was skilled! The visuals and graphics make for some very real on screen special-effects but that is the beauty of the movie.When the movie wants to be funny it is funny, the same is true for when the movie needs to deliver its scary aspects.
I think Jacky Cheung and Chung Lam worked unspeakable in Bullet in the Head. The skilled supporting cast includes Jacky Cheung, Chung Lam, Shek Yin Lau, Waise Lee, Tony Leung Chiu Wai.
