The film ‘Bullet in the Head’ is a one of a kind film directed by legendary director John Woo. In most films there are happy endings, but not bullet in the head. The start of the film was when the characters are at there happiest. The excellent characters of the film were the 3 best friends which were known as ‘brothers’ were acted by Tony Leung who played Ben, Jacky Cheung who played Frank and Waise Lee who played Paul. The story of the film is set in back 1967 when the Vietnam War was taking place, and the 3 best friends flee Hong Kong to Vietnam because of the police chasing them for murder, and when they arrive in Vietnam they put the strength of there friendship to the test because of what situations they are in. The film focuses on love, war, friendship, betrayal and one of the main focuses is wealth especially gold which puts a huge strain on the friendships. This film is defiantly worth watching if you like intense and dramatic films, and the film is one of John Woo’s best performances he has ever made.
