Better Luck Tomorrow (DVD, 2002) Widescreen Collection - Dir. Justin Lin

This is the Widescreen Collection DVD of the 2002 independent film "Better Luck Tomorrow," from director Justin Lin (*Fast & Furious*). This pre-owned disc is in very good condition.

The film follows Ben Manibag, a high-achieving Asian-American high school student. He and his friends lead a double life of perfect grades and extracurriculars while descending into a world of petty crime, which soon escales beyond their control.

Praised by Peter Travers of Rolling Stone as a "funny, sexy, scary powerhouse," the film was a critical darling for its dark, edgy humor and its deconstruction of the "model minority" stereotype.

This is a groundbreaking and compelling indie drama. It's a must-see for fans of director Justin Lin's early work and anyone who appreciates a smart, provocative teen tragi-drama.

"Better Luck Tomorrow" was a landmark film for Asian-American representation, launching the careers of Justin Lin and actor Sung Kang (who reprises his character "Han" in the *Fast & Furious* franchise).
