drama
Death Exposed. An action flick that reveals the sinister underworld of advertising agencies. An unappeasable Iraqi mob launders its dirty money in the Czech lands and aspires to take over the ad market with nothing but illusions. An ad giant’s top manager ends up being fed to a paper shredder. Out of desperation detective Gordon and his assistant Ming turn to the old Gulf war veteran, Simmons, in their search for those responsible for the bazooka deaths of messenger boys. Wild, merciless gunfights through the city and car chases in vintage automobiles ensue. Our heroes triumph in the last unfair battle with the numberless mob, yet they all perish in the final, fierce massacre. The scoundrels are dead too, but, unexpectedly, evil conquers good in the finals seconds of the film.
This film with its unhappy ending won a prize for having the most sentimental dialogues of the decade.
