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

很努力的星二代,和气定神闲的星爸之间,差的就是老天爷赏的那碗饭!
三星半,其实还可以的。前面像《逃出绝命镇》,中间树林里逃亡又有点像《黄海》,仿佛又看到了《人皮客栈》的欧洲小镇,最后变成了《第一滴血》的兰博,杀出重围手刃仇人。
没有亮点的剧情,从开始无聊到结尾,丝毫没有抓人的感觉。两星。
飞车意外坠龙潭
影像很有特点,把希腊的风光拍得很美,悬疑感和氛围感十足,很有上世纪美国悬疑电影的味道,剧情高开低走,整体过得去,就是男主主角光环太重了,体质也不合乎普通人
有槽点,但我觉得一个外国人,在陌生的国家,语言不通,被jc追捕,身上也没手机钱包,就一点零钱硬币。那种无助感表达的可以。其它方面就不怎样了,还有好几处槽点。
3打不过就不能好好躲吗?
看到一个国外同龄人拍的如此笨拙,我长出一口气
坎妹就出了20分钟打了个酱油,华盛顿儿子演技可以,但用力还是过猛啊,美国人黑美国人太小儿科了
你可以称之为安全带宣传片,也可以将前三分之二称之为美国护照宣传片,不过后面就有点离谱了,超过了给主角设定的能力值范围,谓之开挂也不为过。
多亏了坎妹做引子带入剧情,前半段希腊的山区和冬天的雅典有点意思。其他我真的是1.5倍速加跳跃看完都觉得浪费时间。
本来冲着坎妹看的,结果戏份很少
被绑架的小男孩儿的妈
于是他最后化身007一样从车库顶上一跃而下的时候,我已经不吃惊了。也只有这个结局能安抚观众吧……
盲猜女主
错误的人出现在错误的地方。选的主角倒是挺政治正确的。
为了让剧情更紧张一点上来就把男主的武力废了,枪击刀扎断指一个没少;逻辑经不起推敲;挺好奇帮过男主的那些人后来怎么样了;打发时间还行,别抱太高期望
美国情侣在希腊发生车祸却意外卷入了一场政治绑架。前戏略长,紧张感还是不错的,男主光环太猛烈,可以一看。★★★☆
有点像模仿希区柯克的味道,但是导演的功力不够;男主角后半段突然暴涨的武力值也严重缺乏说服力
从画面到叙事都很复古,镜头运用也是增加不少悬疑感!还是值得一看的
