Made for only $250,000, Justin Lin's Better Luck Tomorrow is a dark comedy about a group of over-achieving Asian-American high-school students in Orange County, California whose boredom and feelings about being outsiders lead to acts of petty crime and ultimately to serious violence. It is a film that challenges assumptions about Asian-Americans as asexual computer nerds, showing that they can be just as shallow and bereft of values as any white-skinned American.

Second. This movie showcases astounding writing, acting and directing abilites. I'm not sure if this movie can be catagorized as asian, though. The star was born in NY and the movie was shot, produced and distributed in the US. The cast is ofAasian ancestory or birth, though, so who knows? Either way, it's a hell of a movie. Unsupervised asian kids are capable of anything.
