BORN TO KILL. This movie is a coming of age, crime-drama that follows an orphaned Vietnamese-American teenage immigrant as he is initiated into the ruthless Vietnamese street gang during the late 80s in NYC's Chinatown. This is not your typical gangster story --- this is a film that strives to paint the many faces of Asian masculinity and the frenzied attempts to fit in a world they are barred from at every turn. It touches on the struggles and achievements of Vietnamese-American immigrants, brotherhood, and finding one's place in the world.
