Upon watching after a couple of decades, this is such a weird, indulgent video. The sell of Michael Jackson as a the baddest gangster doesn't work here, or in Bad either. The scenes of him supposedly attracting swooning female dancers feel weird, and the kids in the video, well I wonder what happened to them? The climax of him spraying the shadowy police with a Thompson machine gun works about as well as Michael Dukakis in a tank The loooooong pause in the music for an orgy of moaning with the dancers is annoying and destroys the atmosphere. The song is an earworm though, and I always thought the hook lyrics were "Eddie are you okay?" |
