(1988) Stormy Monday
CRIME DRAMA
Music, written and directed by Mike Figgis directing an almost plot less film noir, that involves a new hire Brendan (Sean Bean) who while eating at a pub happens to overhear about a couple of blokes planning a hit on his new boss regarding a selling of a jazzy nightclub owned by Finny played by musician/actor Sting! Melanie Griffith as Kate plays as a escort of some sort for the corrupt American businessman politician Cosmo played by Tommy Lee Jones as the person whose attempting to own Finny's pub for the purpose of exploiting the wealth England can offer! Without the pointless variety of musical scores and music including big band, jazz, blues and Polish folk music playing at the pub and so forth,it would have been reduced to a 45 minute stint. Instead, this film might've worked but because it had to be a film, the effectiveness of the crimes itself that occurred in the film almost appears as a backdrop to the actual set up, therefore the overall experience are almost non-existent.
