Video: Rihanna - Man Down

The video, beginning with the ending, shows Ri-Ri busting a cap in an unsuspecting mans head.  Not your typical R&B clip for sure.  The story retreats to a day earlier, with a more lively Rihanna kicking it in a Jamaican ghetto and frolicking in the waves at a beach.  Next thing you know it's dark out and she's entering a pretty shady looking club.  This is where things start to get darker, which of course explains the reason behind the gunshot at the start of the clip.

Although it's shot beautifully, the story hardly packs a punch, and this dichotomy between the bland storyline and ease with which it's depicted leaves you with an uneasy feeling.  Judge for yourself.
