60s Scott Walker:
Baby take it easy now/I miss your sweet caress and how!

The editing in the film is frequently bizarre and choppy. It amazes me how the opening fight is so poorly edited that we get an intercut shot of DDL hacking off Liam Neeson’s arm when he’s nowhere near him (3:01 here): youtu.be/zJjEakixDtU?...
