Details

• Release Year: 2002
• Genre: Crime, Drama
• Plot: A Film by Justin Lin; ; Never underestimate an overachiever. To his classmates and teachers, high-schooler Ben Manibag (Parry Shen) appears to be the 'model' student: a perfectionist and overachiever, destined for nothing less than graduating at the top of his class and then attending a prestigious college. But underneath the persona is a darker side-Ben and his bored high-school buddies lead double lives, flying high in a world of petty crime and material excess in order to ease the pressures of 'being perfect'. It's a free-wheeling lifestyle that soon takes a downward spiral, leading to an unexpected end. An Official Selection at the Sundance Film Festival, Better Luck Tomorrow is a gripping, edgy and provocative film that rips tranquil, well-manicured facade off of middle-class and cultural stereotypes.
