警探的剧情介绍,Strange cult movie that is not for everyone.
Ginley (Albert Finney) is a nightclub bingo caller eager for a career change. On his thirty-first birthday, he advertises himself as a private eye in the newspaper. He dons a trench coat, and begins engaging others in rapid-fire dialogue as if he were Humphrey Bogart, or some Dashiell Hammett creation. Soon after, Ginley is phoned by a fat man, who gives him a package containing a gun, a photograph, and a large sum of money. Eventually Ginley is investigating a case involving smuggling of weapons as well as drugs. Ginley also finds himself at odds with his unsupportive brother, who offers Ginley payment to break off his investigations. Eventually Ginley learns of his brother-in-law's involvement in the crimes at hand. Ginley faces a series of daunting tasks: solving the crimes, bringing justice to the smugglers (and a murderer), as well as maintaining his safety and sanity in the process.
負責配樂的竟然是Andrew Lloyd Webber.
3.5
写给硬汉小说阴阳怪气的情书。Finney在Two for the Road里学了几句Bogart不过瘾,干脆自己制片学了一整部电影。
完美的配乐,以及对20世纪四五十年代的硬派侦探小说的致敬,这种东西只有英国人才能拍出来,因为美国人不了解自己的文化。故事非常好,但是配乐更好
穿插着搞笑对话的正经悬疑片,有点科恩兄弟的味道。可惜我阅片量少,有很多致敬老片子的台词我都没get到
