诡计

　　影片曾在2011年柏林电影节上获得剧本银熊奖。
　　17岁的尼克（崔斯坦·哈利拉吉 Tristan Halilaj 饰）居住在阿尔巴尼亚的北部地区。马上就要高中毕业了，准备拿到毕业证开个小网吧维持生计。15岁的妹妹露迪娜希望能考进大学过上梦想的生活。但这个平凡的家庭却因为卷入土地所有权的争执而变得焦头烂额，父亲被谋杀罪起诉躲进了深山。根据古老习俗，如果家人杀了人，那么受害者的家庭可以同样杀死一个杀人犯的男性亲属。因此家中所有的男性都不允许离开家半步。整个家庭的重担都落在了露迪娜的肩上。她被迫离开学校工作养家。新的责任让露迪娜逐渐成长为一名能够独当一面的能手。尼克却因为长期的“离群索居”的生活而变得沮丧和焦躁不安。最终，这种负面的情绪让他决定用血为家族间的斗争做一个了解——哪怕这个决定回让他丢掉自己的性命，也在所不惜......

　　Erstwhile Special Forces operative Doc Alexander is asked to broker a truce with the Mexican drug cartel in secrecy. When Oklahoma Governor Richard Jeffs celebrates the execution of a high-ranking cartel member on TV, his Chief of Staff and Doc inform him about the peace he just ended. But it’s too late, as Cuco, the cartel’s hatchet man, has set his vengeful sights on Doc’s daughter Dixie.
　　They don’t make ’em like Little Dixie anymore: honed to the bone, all gestures and actions, only a few words. Too many genre films these days try to create meaning by piling ideas and intentions on their narrative frames. John Swab, as always, works the other way around. Meaning and depth come from taking away whatever is superfluous – by reducing the plot to its bare essence and the characters to their core trades and tricks.
　　Ultimately, Little Dixie feels like the pulp fiction version of a Giacometti sculpture, all fearful symmetries and mirror images. A gem of crime cinema at its purest and most philosophical, proudly featuring noir’s new darling, Frank Grillo.
