No Tears For The Dead

No Tears For The Dead is your typical hit man seeking retribution for his actions, type of Korean action film starring Dong-gun Jang (Dangerous Liaisons and Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War and written and directed by Jeong-beom Lee (The Man From Nowhere).  Considering it was made 4 years after The Man From Nowhere, I don't know if Lee was trying too hard to duplicate his earlier success with a similar story or what.  The international cast was used especially well here, too.  It has heart and great action, but throughout they are misplaced flashbacks and cuts that undermine much of the film's heart and plot particulars.  This left me to largely only relish in the nice action sequences and acting of Jang.
