Master Director John Woo travelled to Thailand to make this fast-paced action classic. A group of mercenaries are sent into the so-called 'Golden Triangle' to capture a drug baron, but nabbing him is the easy bit. He's not going to go quietly: with both by gangsters and the army on the tail, this wild bunch is going to need all the help it can get. (88 Films)

English If we put A Better Tomorrow 1&2, The Killer, Once a Thief, and Hard-Boiled in one bag called "John Woo's first-class action movies", then Heroes Shed No Tears would be his ultimate Hong Kong B-movie. This is a movie in which the main characters are on the way to bring an evil general to justice and meet all sorts of interest groups who are (A) trying to kill them; (B) trying to play dangerous games with them, or (C) trying to give them a Thai massage - it really is the artless dull naive spectacle you want to see from John Woo (if let off the leash). Constant action, streams of blood, childish drama, incredible pathos, casual sex, and comedic inserts, this movie has bits of everything. You'll be shaking your head at this movie every passing minute. ()
