No Tears for the Dead


Sade - Smooth Operator

Korean shoot-em-up. Opens with Sade singing this song in a night club, at least I think it's her. It sounds like her. Her hair is different and her figure is a little fuller. The tune did come out 30 years ago, so I guess she's allowed a couple of pounds. The opening scene in the movie is much like this video, but it quickly takes a turn to the grim.
     The film often had us wondering just what was going on. There are at least a dozen players and the scenes cut back and forth so quickly it's sometimes a little difficult to tell who is killing who. I'm not sure there are any good guys in here at all. There are strained loyalties, regrets, unhappy memories and faithless employees. Lots of gun fights and fist-i-cuffs. Netflix gives it four stars, but I'd only give it 3, good enough but not that great.
