The first "Better Tomorrow" was superb...quick, engrossing and VERY violent. This sequel is good, but not up to the first. The story is by-the-numbers (gangster tries to go good, but people won't let him), women are treated as nothing and there's HUGE gaps in reality (check one of the closing scenes when a man calls his wife in the hospital). Also, the acting (with the exception of Chow-Yun Fat) is laughable. Still, I was never bored. The action is explosive, the movie barely stops and the body count is easily in the triple digits. Worth watching, but no great shakes.
