Plot:
A prequel, set in Saigon during the fall, and the weakest link in the trilogy, unacceptably restrained in both action and emotion. Chow Yun-fat plays a younger version of Mark, his original character,...( read more

REVIEW: Part 1, plot:
Trying to get his friend Mun (Tony Leung) and his father out of Saigon, Mark (Chow Yun-Fat) requests the help of a local crime boss, named Kit (Not the same Kit from I+II, this one is played by Anita Mui) When a South Vietnamese General tries to mess up their escape to Hong Kong, the two of them fight their way out in a terrific gun battle (the only real good part of the movie) which cements their bond, and the two soon fall in love. Mark tries to get Kit to leave Saigon with him, but she declines. Mun, his father and Mark escape to Hong Kong where they open up a business together, but the Japanese, ex-Lover of Kit, Tanaka, has other ideas...
REVIEW Part 2, Verdict: Three must be Tsui Hark's unlucky number, as both A Better Tommorow III and OUATIC III were overlong, had little to nothing to do with the other two films and had love storys that just didn't work. Had the movie been given a different title, i probably would have given it a better rating, because as bad as the movie is, the ending is kinda sad. still this movie is a dissapointment and a discrace to the A Better tommorow name.

MCT:November 19, 2007dont bother without john woo directing these films went shit.the first 2 films are cult classics and they are a must see

MCT:October 17, 2007Different to John Woo's original two films, but it's almost as good. Chow Yun Fat, gives a very charismatic performance, hilarious in the opening scenes when he walks around the airport with an unlit cigarette hanging from his lip, and gives a raw, powerful, emotional performance at the end. The action scenes although lacking the finesse of the John Woo trademark mayhem, are still high velocity and powerful. Aided well by the soaring soundtrack, this film although it can be a little slow, is a welcome and worthy addition to the better tomorrow films.

This final installment of A Better Tomorrow series isn't bad action without director John Woo from the sequels that Tsui Hark took over. Anita Mui makes a fine performance as a femme fatale and lover of Chow Yun-Fat.

MCT:June 29, 2006This film should not use the name A Better Tomorrow III in Mandarin as well as English.
Obviously Tsui Hark is not as good as John Woo. You may feel a little bit disappointed when you watch it because the screenplay was set to be independent from the first two.
Anita Mui is very cool and the theme song is very classic too. What a waste for a great actress to die for cancer in 30th December 2003.
If there will be a IV to be made, I hope John Woo will think twice and look at the screenplay carefully.
Anyway, you will be convinced here that it is always not easy to be a good man.
