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)
about CIA dirty job... That's ok.
剧情太慢, 有点拉胯, 故事讲不好, 又没有特效支撑.
抖音追剧系列
退伍以后就被好友摆入坑，这人生真是不太顺利
掩藏一件东西最好的方式就是不要藏，如果这个金疙瘩这么容易被发现的话，也不会留给你两个，两个人既然谁也不相信谁，完全可以标注方位后，一起去找工具。
最后一部分有点垮了，整体是很好的，至少比过一大片同类型流水线，剧情自然还是同质化，但胜在一些专业细节。国家机器会杀掉每个生锈的螺丝
简直不敢相信男主是zac afron啊啊啊 低成本电影 考验人性
中规中矩。退伍老兵无法养活全家，然后找承包商。被队友出卖，再反杀老板
故事不差，演技凑合，但是适合快进着半个小时看完，花90分钟不值得
每一步都是精心设计，毫无意外全部都是老套路…
立意从名字就能猜出来，整体凑合可看，但有几点逻辑上硬伤太明显了。
男主太单纯了，自己选的留下来，所以最后讲了个螳螂捕蝉，黄雀在后的故事。剧本情节挺单薄的。
更适合拍成剧集。
好像年纪大了的偶像明星，都得演一部特别苦的影片
本以为会很无聊，惊悚感还是很强的，最后男主太惨了，以后遇到这种情况一定要选去找挖掘机
较为枯燥
整体设定依旧是蛮套式的，但克里斯派恩演的不流俗，私人情感表现有点谍影重重2的意思。
Ben Foster继赴汤蹈火之后又为了哥哥死了一次……
其实故事还可以，但没有演绎好。动作场面也只是马马虎虎。
太简单无聊的电影了。 陌生人之间的信任几乎为0。 男主人公的智商几乎为0。
