Just when Tom has enough and decides to pack his bags, Lucy tells him Gino had a terrible accident. She also tells about the corruption of Hawlett Trucking.
英國電影會(huì)注重人物的部分,包括親情愛情的表達(dá)。追逐戲和打斗戲充滿了現(xiàn)代好萊塢元素。
又是腦袋掛在褲腰帶上賣命式的卡車司機(jī)飆車電影,沒有過多地把重點(diǎn)放在展現(xiàn)駕駛過程中的驚險(xiǎn),主要還是男主身邊各個(gè)角色的性格展示,孤膽英雄最終還是抱得美人歸,就是Gino好慘啊……Sean Connery還打了個(gè)不大不小的醬油角色~
小配角肖恩康納利
3.5星,算好看。主要是圈套底層無背景人士為得益者賣命的一系列事件,愛情線硬湊,非要和小秘書來一腿,兩人也沒多情投意合啊,令好友心情大跌谷底。
不是典型的工人階級(jí),行業(yè)內(nèi)幕。
難免會(huì)拿來與《恐懼的代價(jià)》作比較,比起前者節(jié)奏更明快元素更多樣,暴力陰謀黑幕皆有之,愛情友情親情一個(gè)也不少。★★★☆

肖恩康納利在劇中演了個(gè)小角色,很帥但沒什么存在感
可悲的現(xiàn)實(shí)主義題材,底層階級(jí)的互相拆臺(tái)爭(zhēng)斗廝殺最終兩敗俱傷,古今中外無不如此
7.0/10
依舊不懂為何這對(duì)英國人來說是經(jīng)典
過于劇情劇了,別說去比恐懼代價(jià),就連一年后的另部英倫“卡車戲”恐怖之砂也頗為不如。恩菲爾德本是美國導(dǎo)演,因好萊塢黑名單才被迫英漂發(fā)展。二十七歲的康納利片中只謀得個(gè)小角色,風(fēng)頭遠(yuǎn)不及領(lǐng)銜主演的斯坦利貝克。后來貝克因與恩菲爾德繼續(xù)合作祖魯之戰(zhàn)而推掉了一個(gè)角色邀約,康納利轉(zhuǎn)而入選,它就是諾博士的詹姆斯邦德……

#Do I Love It?Should I Love It?Probably Shouldn't But I Do# Cast:Peggy Cummins / Stanley Baker / Jill Ireland / 'Sean Connery'
藍(lán)領(lǐng)階級(jí)Film Noir,卡車的速度與激情。人心險(xiǎn)惡甚于道路驚險(xiǎn),十三號(hào)的詛咒和剎車伏筆很爽快。黑幕沒有展開來講,反轉(zhuǎn)大于反思。感情戲拖后腿,女主角的情起本身沒立住,男主角如果不更進(jìn)一步既能保持住性格,故事也還是能進(jìn)行下去。孤膽英雄式的主角、有正義感的外籍友人、匪徒似的同事、郊外泥地的背景、車馬煙草的元素竟與通心粉西部片有奇特的聯(lián)系感。年輕的康納利和吉爾·愛蘭德。留意到一個(gè)打光的細(xì)節(jié):黑白電影經(jīng)常使用外部光源來模擬蠟燭或燈泡的光,因此會(huì)出現(xiàn)蠟燭和燈泡本身的影子,以往見到的都是大面積的穩(wěn)定光源,而在本片中則是小面積光照并且會(huì)跟著移動(dòng)
