回复 :白人警探尼克.诺尔蒂为了追查神秘的毒贩"卖冰人",不得不找当年的黑人罪犯搭档埃迪.墨菲协助提供线索。埃迪因有一笔巨款仍寄存在尼克手上,只好不情不愿地加以帮忙,但二人在合作过程中发生多起冲突。最后,他们还是发现了卖冰人"的真正身份,原来是警察中人。全片从编剧的情节安排,到导演的动作设计,再到演员的卖力演出,处处可见台前幕后工作人员尽力使本片显得热闹好看的努力,不过最终还是摆脱不了既有的框架,只是在公式化之中转圈圈,甚至埃迪的惹笑伎俩也显得有点技穷了。
回复 :本部纪录片是导演迈克尔·艾普特从1964年开始拍摄的纪录片系列的第八部。迈克尔·艾普特在1964年为英国BBC电视台拍摄了记录片《7 Up》,采访来自英国不同阶层的十四个七岁的小孩子,他们有的来自孤儿院,有的是上层社会的小孩。此后每隔七年,艾普特都会重新采访当年的这些孩子,倾听他们的梦想,畅谈他们的生活。人生行至大半,岁月蹉跎。是悔恨感慨,还是遥想当年风华正茂。年华终有老去的一天,可生活仍将继续。陪伴这些孩子度过半个世纪的导演迈克尔•艾普特也已两鬓斑白,《人生七年》还将继续。
回复 :Charles Burnett, one of America's most highly regarded independent filmmakers, wrote and directed this domestic drama about a black middle-class family living in South central Los Angeles. However, there are no gangs, no guns, no drugs but instead a lyrical story that draws on folklore and the supernatural.family tensions are already simmering when Harry (Danny Glover) arrives to visit his old friends. He exudes an easy charm, knows secret past and present and is soon installed in the heart of the family. However, as his stay lengthens, so does he begin to cast an even more malevolent spell, provoking turmoil, setting son against son, reviving past hatreds, and inflicting a mysterious illness.Glover delivers a career-topping performance as the garrulous family friend, full of hidden menace, effortlessly evoking nostalgia and horror in the same breath.As ever, Burnett provides a wonderful music track featuring gospel, blues and jazz and a cameo from the legendary Jimmy Weatherspoon.'A slow-burning, soul-insinuating, 12-bar blues of a movie.' Tom Charity, Time Out'Danny Glover is marvellous, and terrifying, as a charismatic old-timer.' The Times(from the description on the back cover of the DVD)
