Synopsis

From producers John Woo and Terence Chang, the visionary minds behind undisputed action masterpieces 'Hard Boiled', 'Mission: Impossible II' and 'Red Cliff', comes a new classic of heroic bloodshed cinema.

1930s Shanghai: a glittering city of vice and decadence. Three innocent young men arrive to this seeming paradise in search of a better future. But as time goes by, their paths diverge, even as they all descend into a life of crime. Soon, friends turn against friends, brother against brother. The blood bonds are now but relics from their early days of innocence. Once they hoped for a better tomorrow: now tragedy and betrayal have become a way of life.

Crafted by the acclaimed talents behind such breathtaking spectacles as 'Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon', 'House Of Flying Daggers' and 'Brotherhood Of The Wolf', 'Blood Brothers' is a bullet-soaked journey into a thrilling gangster's paradise.
