墓地邂逅2

　　知名舞台剧女演员牧树里这日收到怪盗基德的预告信：在26个字母的盘旋飞舞中，他来拜领无价的“命运的宝石”。毛利小五郎受到牧树里委托将信件分析，认为基德将在演出最后一晚前来盗取宝石，当晚他及柯南、小兰等人来到剧场，那里早有诸多警察守候。
　　令柯南吃惊的是，基德竟扮成工藤新一出现在众人面前，但他及众人方向不同的紧张过后，宝石并没被盗，柯南醒悟字母预告信与航班相关。而柯南、小兰、牧树里及其同事搭乘的前往北海道的飞机上，尚有一起杀人计划正被精心设计。

　　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.
