Summary
  Remake of Story of a Discharged Prisoner (1967). A rousing melodrama centered around an aging gangster torn apart by loyalty to his kid brother, a rookie cop; and his life-long pal, a swaggering hitman. Director John Woo's love affair with automatic weapons fully blossomed in this awesome thriller. [from the Rim Films Catalog]
