No Tears for the Dead (2014)

The rooftop shoot-out is one of the best action sequence.

[9/10 · 26 March 2017]

Saw this recently on a rented dvd. It's an amazing action flick. The plot - A hit-man is traumatized after an accidental killing of a small girl. He is assigned by his contractors to then eliminate the young girl's mother, causing further conflict for the broken hit-man. Expectations were high as this is from the same director, Lee Jeong-beom who gav us The Man from Nowhere. Jang Dong-gun (My Way) gav a stunning performance as the haunted and complex hit-man. His action choreography is awesome. Action scenes are well executed. It's a high octane action flick. There is tons of blazing shootouts, brutal hand combat n some knife play. Most of the action is towards the second half of the film. The rooftop shoot-out is one of the best action sequence. Fans of Michael Mann n John Woo will love the gun action scenes. Fans of Heat, Miami vice, The Getaway (Steve Mcqueen one), Hard boiled, The Killer, Tombstone, etc will definitely enjoy this.
