***Rare 35mm Print | Curated & Introduced by Filmmaker Joe Carnahan***
John Woo's epic tale of three troubled friends who go from minor street toughs to fugitives to smugglers before ending up knee-deep in the Vietnam War is easily one of the most kinetic and exciting wartime action flicks you'll ever see. Plus it has some actual heart, humanity, and character, which goes a long way in an action-packed bullet-fest like this one.
