王牌特工2：黄金圈 （国语版）

　　四个狂爱卡丁车的孩子收到了神秘的邀请，要到古老的城堡中参赛，但条件是每个人之间不仅要相互信任，更要抛弃原有的骄傲、自我甚至争强好胜，

某市发生一起奇怪的交通肇事逃逸案，刑警队长王金刚在查案时，发现该案件谜团重重，通过复杂线索，又牵扯出恶势力偷盗国家原油案件，发现幕后黑手郑氏兄弟。在查找证据和追捕的过程中，正邪之间展开了一场生死对决。

　　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.

　　抢孤是一种庙会活动。通常在每年的夏季举行。台湾部分民间在中元节普渡后，会将祭祀的供品提供民众抢夺，称为「抢孤」。一种说法是为了与孤魂野鬼抢夺祭品，另一种说法是为了吓退流连忘返的鬼魂。案例“抢孤”在我国的一些重要的传统节日中也得到广泛的运用。如中国的“盂兰盆节”又称“中元节
