简介: Here's a modern-day film noir in which you're never sure what's real and what isn't real. There is a possibility you may get tired of guessing and give up on this film 3/4ths of the way through, as I almost did but it worth finishing. It also was better the second time around The problem is just too many flashbacks. If some of those scenes were not replayed so often, or a few of the many twists eliminated, it would have been a super movie. It still was fascinating in parts. It grabs you, and you can't stop watching to see what the real story is. Along the way, is a bunch of nice colors and some nice film noir-type in the beginning and then during the ending credits.
简介: 英国ABC摄制的经典间谍剧集The Avengers在整个60年代红极一时,风靡英语世界,时至今日仍然吸引着世界各地无数的拥趸,成为和The Prisoner、Doctor Who等齐名的老牌英国Cult TV经典,而国内也曾在80年代以《复仇天使》的译名引进其中一小部分。The Avengers系列结束10年以后,剧集制作人Brian Clemens和Albert Fennell在70年代创作、拍摄了续集The New Avengers,同样获得相当大的成功,国内在80年代曾以《三个侦探》的不当译名引进。 The New Avengers沿用了The Avengers系列的男主角超级特工John Steed(Patrick Macnee),原系列中的美女搭档换成了两个年轻后辈Mike Gambit和Purdy。剧情配合冷战背景,涉及间谍与反间谍、有组织犯罪、科幻等多种题材,很多创意在当时颇有前卫性,因而在70年代重掀Avengers热潮。电视摄像与制作技术在10年间的发展,使得The New Avengers比前作显得更为专业。虽然和如今的好莱坞大片相比,The New Avengers在噱头和视觉效果方面要相差很多,但是在70年代其地位还是相当高的,而在今天作为怀旧经典仍然具有相当不错的观赏性和娱乐性。
