威尼斯的地平线单元中，出现了这样一部电影，不扯人性，“三观”却正到让人大呼过瘾，这就是讲述了一个干脆利落的复仇故事的西班牙电影《迟来的愤怒》。 影片讲述了一个男人为了替在抢劫案中惨死的女友和变成植物人的老爸报仇，潜伏八年，甚至睡了抢劫团伙司机的孩子他妈，只为等他出狱，威胁他，顺藤摸瓜找到躲藏起来的真凶们，一个一个复仇。
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.
