镜头前的女人

　　大卫·斯佩德扮演一位生活中并不很得意的银行职员，一次聚会中他偶遇高中时期好友Max（亚当·桑德勒 饰），Max自称目前任职于美国联邦调查局（FBI），二人经过一系列疯狂派对后，又伪造了假死亡，踏上了全新的冒险之旅。

　　一名父亲（乔什·哈奈特 Josh Hartnett 饰）陪同青少年女儿（阿里尔·多诺霍 Ariel Donoghue 饰）参加一场流行音乐演唱会，他们后来发现自己正处于一场黑暗邪恶的活动中。

　　耳袋，即是把听到的怪异诡秘的故事，好好地放进袋子里收藏起来。电影改编自日本畅销灵异小说《怪谈新耳袋》，由99则独立的灵异故事组成。故事内容都是民间种种怪异骇人的传言，例如公寓洗手间的女鬼、照片上莫名多出来的人、发出幽幽呜咽的音乐盒、扔不掉的儿童自行车……承袭了日本恐怖电影的一贯风格，每桩灵异事件，都在引发毛骨悚然的恐怖情绪。

　　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.
