ANGELIKA’S NOTE

A chaotic adventure in the coming-of-age genre, Justin Lin’s (STAR TREK BEYOND, THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS: TOKYO DRIFT) BETTER LUCK TOMORROW explores what could happen when over-achieving high schoolers run out of legal extra-curriculars- and begin to experiment with criminal activity. The film features brilliant and thought-provoking performances from Parry Shen (GHOST OF TSUSHIMA, HATCHET), Jason Tobin (WARRIOR, JASMINE), and Sung Kang (THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS: TOKYO DRIFT, RAYA AND THE LAST DRAGON) among others. New York Times praises, “There's a sting to this film that gets to you."

SYNOPSIS

Ben is a perfectionist and overachiever whose tunnel vision leads to nothing less than graduating at the top of his class. As he struggles to achieve social success, he discovers his darker side. He and his friends: Virgil, Daric and Han lead a double life of mischief and petty crimes to alleviate the pressures of perfection. As their adopted identity grows, the gang tumbles into a downward spiral of excitement, excess and fun.
