More SABU crime stuff, but he keeps things different. I like the premise of the main character getting with the group, and the group leaving over time. It serves the movie well both in comedy and story. I’m glad I got a different ending compared to the last 3 movies of SABU that I watched as well.

I think this movie also counts toward what I’m simply going to call The Theme from now on (read previous log for more context). I’ll also start the tally I mentioned. I don’t feel like going through my old logs right now so I’ll simply start the tally at 1 (one) with this movie.
