I thought that when Jacko had made a music movie right after Thriller, it might be good. Well, I was partially right. While Michael is no longer a minority in this video, his approach to drama is somewhat questionable. But, thanks to virtuoso director Martin Scorsese, he brings this mini-music movie together (though on TV they will usually just show the music part and will leave out the parts with a young Wesley Snipes) by some good editing and music to his images (Scorsese knows how to bring music and movies together with such things as The Last Waltz and Woodstock). Not inspired, but not a waste of a few minutes on MTV either. A-
