Justin Lin directed and co-wrote this provocative and unsettling teen drama. Leading the outstanding cast is Parry Shen as an affluent Asian-American high-school student who turns his back on schoolwork and opts for a life of crime with his gangsta posse. Lin’s film, which he helped finance by maxing out 10 credit cards, is based on a 1992 murder. Sung Kang, Jason Tobin, Karin Anna Cheung., A group of unlikely high school students take up crime as an extracurricular activity in this independent drama. Ben (Parry Shen) is a 16-year-old high school student who is the living embodiment of the stereotypical Asian overachiever. Ben obsessively studies even though he gets straight A’s, takes part in a dizzying variety of school activities and community volunteer work, which he thinks will look good on his resume to colleges, and is even a member of the basketball team, even though he spends most of the season riding the pine. Ben also hopes being part of the team will help him win the heart of Stephanie Vandergosh (Karin Anna Cheung), a cute but equally obsessive girl who is on the cheerleading squad. When the big man on campus, Daric (Roger Fan), publishes an article in the school newspaper that points out Ben’s true role on the team is to add a touch of ethnic diversity to satisfy Board of Education requirements, Ben is so embarrassed he quits the team and imagines his academic future going up in smoke. Daric seizes the opportunity to propose that he and Ben go into business, creating and selling detailed cheat sheets for school tests and placement exams. The cheat sheets are an immediate hit, and soon Ben and Daric advance to other forms of low-level crime, including drug dealing and fencing stolen goods. Before long, Ben and Daric are joined by a handful of friends — Ben’s close friend and part-time kleptomaniac Virgil (Jason Tobin), Hong Kong gangster wannabe Han (Sung Kang), and Steve (John Cho), a kid from a wealthy family who happens to be dating Stephanie — but they soon find themselves moving deeper into the criminal underworld than they ever anticipated, and things get ugly when they try to move on. Better Luck Tomorrow was enthusiastically received in its screenings at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival., ‘A’ student Ben and his group of equally high-achieving friends make some extra money on the side selling their work to their fellow students. But when they expand their services to include drugs, things start to get violent. Gritty high school drama., Justin Lin’s crime thriller centres on a group of young Asian-Americans who, chasing a quick buck, become disastrously embroiled in criminal activities. Student Ben is bored: his curriculum isn’t stretching him and he gets his kicks via minor pranks and scams with his friends Virgil and Han. But then Daric enters the story, offering Ben the enticing prospect of using his brain to make some serious – if highly dodgy – money. However, with excess cash, a lack of direction and too much time on their hands, the friends quickly find themselves wading further and further into criminality; and it’s not long before they’ve seemingly crossed the point of no return…, High school student Ben Manibag is an overachiever. But when he is befriended by senior Daric Loo class valedictorian and captain of the academic decathlon team his life changes. Bit by bit Ben, his best friend Virgil, and Virgil’s cousin, Han, are drawn from their boring suburban high school life to Daric’s increasingly risky propositions and into a world of petty crime, drugs, and sex.
