猛汉狂徒

　　退伍军人约翰戈尔德成为了一名雇佣军之后，得知他最好的朋友被谋杀了，他开始去查明真相，随着一步步的深入了解，他发现了一个惊天大阴谋...

　　汤姆．伯兰吉尔监制主演的电视电影，题材比较冷僻，但导演克雷格．巴克莱仍然掌握住这个真实故事所具有的戏剧潜力，一方面拍出宗教族群的特殊人际关系，也适度表现了谋杀故事的神秘惊险气氛。故事描述一名摩门教的独自修行信徒，发现了西部教会的领导人布里格姆杨和其他长老将会被敌人阴谋杀害，于是尽一己之力来保护他们的生命。主演过不少宗教巨片的查尔顿．赫斯登以七十二岁的高龄演出摩门教的领袖，六十七岁的詹姆斯．科伯恩则饰演其中一名长老。

《危急营救》剧情讲述了成龙和兄弟大力是卧龙山的两个穷小子，为了生活，二人决定去城里发展，二人去城里以后做起了帮忙要账的工作，无意中卷入一场家族绑架案，兄弟俩凭着自己未泯的良心，没有向金钱屈服，最终惩治了头目并解救了小女孩依依。两人也从替人要债的地痞，转变为“知荣知耻的新人”。影片主题鲜明，立意明确，人物之间的矛盾冲突强烈，通过喜剧演员与特型演员的演绎，故事有嬉笑怒骂的冲突，也有感动流涕的情节，多条线索交织，整体轻松，有颇多逗趣之处。

　　一场意外让达克（史蒂夫·麦奎因 Steve McQueen 饰）即将面临漫长而又痛苦的牢狱之灾，为了让丈夫免于受难，达克的妻子卡罗尔（艾丽·麦古奥 Ali MacGraw 饰）不惜牺牲色相，贿赂监狱的上层官员。果不其然，达克获得了特别假释，与此同时，警长拜伦（本·约翰逊 Ben Johnson 饰）告诉达克，作为交换，他必须帮他一个“小忙”——抢劫一间银行！
　　迫于拜伦的淫威，达克只能就范，然而，他并不知道的事，拜伦的内心里早已经判了自己死刑，他根本就没有想让达克或者离开犯罪现场。和达克一起行动的是一位名叫鲁迪（艾尔·勒提埃里 Al Lettieri 饰）的男子，他的想法同拜伦不谋而合。在这样腹背受敌的危险状况之下，达克能否顺利完成任务呢？

　　Having witnessed his junkie father killed Russell Stevens grows up to become a policeman and make a difference. When he is offered an undercover job by Gerald Carver he accepts and begins to build a relationship with David Jason in order to get to the main dealers. However as he is forced to deal drugs and kill to keep his cover he finds the lines between cop and criminal being lost – is he a cop pretending to be a dealer or a dealer pretending to be a cop?
　　Larry (as he was then) Fishburne's first lead role was a typically dark vehicle. The story is the usual one of cop losing himself when undercover, however it manages to be more than that for most of the time. Co-written by Tolkin, who wrote The Player, this naturally has a nice cynical edge to it when it looks at the US's hypocritical approach to drug control and the political links between the street hustlers and the political high rollers who court respectability. The story does eventually settle into a traditional setting but even then it works well as a thriller.
　　The multi-talented Bill Duke directs well with a gritty feel and a few nice touches. However several things are a bit iffy. For most of the film Fishburne's narration/voice over is a bit like a cross between Apocalypse Now and Blade Runner – it comes across as a little too dark and heavy and also explains things like we can't figure it out ourselves. However once you get into the film it's not as big a deal. My main problem lies with the characters.
　　Fishburne is excellent, a real model of underlying anger and violence, Goldblum is good but perhaps a little OTT on the yuppie/violence thing, but there's good support from Smith and Spin City's beautiful (and often underused – but not here) Victoria Dillard. However the two main white characters (Goldblum and Smith) are both smeared with racist insinuations – Smith appears to insult his black officers and doesn't care about the junkies, while Goldblum is fascinated about all things black and talks about them as wild beautiful beasts and loves having sex with "black'. These things aren't a major problem, but with basically only two white characters in it, it's a little worrying that both are given that edge.
　　However these are minor complaints that get lost with a good thriller. Fishburne excels and Duke delivers a story that is a good thriller but also has a jaded, subversive edge.
