When will Woo end? - Bullet in the Head review by CP Customer

Spoiler Alert
22/08/2007

This film is showcases some of the hallmarks of Woo's style that audiences have come to expect. The story develops the tale of three friends who regard themselves as 'brothers, as they naievely seek out success making quick and easy money through criminal means. Soon, plans go awry and the 'brothers' loyalties are increasingly tested. The plot maintains interest but, in typical Woo style, has about 2 or 3 different points at which the film could have ended...giving audiences an extra half hour of their lives back.
