大山里的春天

　　故事发生在一座名为艾尼斯的平静小镇之上，卫斯理（史蒂文·席格 Steven Seagal 饰）曾经是政府重用的免疫学家，如今，他不过是一个隐居在小镇之中默默无闻的中年男人。以奇桑（杰拉德·萨尔汀 Gailard Sartain 饰）为首的一帮恐怖分子的到来打破了小镇上宁静的日常，与此同时，一种从未被发现的神秘病毒正在居民间蔓延，卫斯理的“退休生活”彻底画上了句号。
　　为了对抗病毒，卫斯理潜心研究着疫苗，感染死亡的人数越来越多，病毒传播的速度也越来越快。更糟糕的是，卫斯理的女儿霍利（卡米拉·贝勒 Camilla Belle 饰）遭到了歹徒的绑架，而他自己似乎也成为了病毒的受害者。在如此艰巨的情况之下，卫斯理能够力挽狂澜吗？

　　八十年代的恐怖电影《处刑在午夜》（10 to Midnight）中，外表不佳却颇具性格气概的老电影人查尔斯·布朗森在片中饰演一个警探，逮捕到一位专门辣手摧花的杀人犯，苦于没有证据，老查不得已设法编造证据，想送他进大牢，不料被穿帮，凶手放出来后，决定对老查的女儿下手以实行报复。为什么老查根本找不到凶手的罪证呢，原来凶手每次行凶前必把自己的衣服脱光，你想找到任何沾有血迹的衣服、裤子、鞋子，都难如登天。于是，反一号男主角吉恩·戴维斯在片中有一半的戏份都要光着身子。《处刑在午夜》在裸露尺度的把握上，真正做到了“男女平等”，你脱我也脱，像吉恩·戴维斯这种可以走偶像路线的男星，接拍《处刑在午夜》实在得不偿失，别说必须时不时的衣不蔽体，角色形象也负面到极点，从片子的票房来看，他也真是白忙了一场。可能从一开始，吸引他的只是赫赫有名的曾导过黑白原版《恐怖角》（Cape Fear）与《纳瓦隆大炮》（The Guns of Navarone）的大导演J·李·汤普森吧，可惜人有失手马有失蹄，这一回他可是脱得很没价值呐！

　　在MIDNIGHT的世界，反抗黑暗的时刻即将来临。

　　受命调查一位失踪的神父使者，恶名昭著的Mag Kiln被教会派往Blackweir的一个小镇Erenlander。在这里，他很快被卷入一个古老的秘密中，被揭开的不仅是镇子禁忌的遗产，还有他体内不断生长的恶毒的预言。《午夜编年史》是一部讲述两个传奇人物的史诗故事——善的一族与邪恶一族。这就是讲述他们的崛起，斗争与最终命运的故事，当然他们的命运不可避免地与黑暗之神统治的世界纠缠在一起。

　　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.

　　本片叙述一位廿一岁高中退学生，以他个人独特的想法和行动来缔造美国梦，充满著喜趣、动作、悬疑，本片深入介绍罕为人知的旧金山特殊巡逻队，这支巡逻队是在一八五一年旧金山开埠的年代组成的，当时加州州警的警力不足，故将其辖区卖给私人机构，让民众来担任警察的工作。从此以后这些私人的警察机构被称为特别巡逻队，他们与官方警察携手合作，并接受警察学校的正式训练。乔治卡夫，一个你绝对无法信赖的家伙，刚接手管理警局，现在大家却必须仰仗这个小子。
