Charles Burnett, one of America's most highly regarded independent filmmakers, wrote and directed this domestic drama about a black middle-class family living in South central Los Angeles. However, there are no gangs, no guns, no drugs but instead a lyrical story that draws on folklore and the supernatural.
family tensions are already simmering when Harry (Danny Glover) arrives to visit his old friends. He exudes an easy charm, knows secret past and present and is soon installed in the heart of the family. However, as his stay lengthens, so does he begin to cast an even more malevolent spell, provoking turmoil, setting son against son, reviving past hatreds, and inflicting a mysterious illness.
Glover delivers a career-topping performance as the garrulous family friend, full of hidden menace, effortlessly evoking nostalgia and horror in the same breath.
As ever, Burnett provides a wonderful music track featuring gospel, blues and jazz and a cameo from the legendary Jimmy Weatherspoon.
'A slow-burning, soul-insinuating, 12-bar blues of a movie.' Tom Charity, Time Out
'Danny Glover is marvellous, and terrifying, as a charismatic old-timer.' The Times

质感还行,就是可能看着节奏有点慢,西部片是电影产业不可或缺的一部分啊
西部片背景的《小人物》,最后的枪战还是很可以的,很“西部”!
竟然是比利小子,英雄迟暮永远是个值得表达的题材
一般般,剧情其实挺老套,唯一的反转还行吧,老比利成就小比利...
论一部剧情简单的西部剧为何拍的这么有嚼劲,归根结底角色人物塑造成功对于一部电影是多么重要!国内就是差这个
故事简单老套 叙事节奏有些拖沓 摄影画面和配乐还不错
有时候他也嘟囔嫌钱不够使
戏说传奇人物,但没有拍出特别的传奇味来,差了那么点意思。
久违的西部电影的味道。没什么比一个把汗水留在地里的干瘪老农更让人觉得窝囊,尤其他还眇着一只眼。但是在西部,每个老男人的过去都可能是传奇。美国电影喜欢拍这种惹不起的主题,源自他开拓时代的尚武延续。
从头能预料到尾的简单剧情,没有复杂的情绪,没有错综的人物关系,唯一值得一提的是老亨的演技真不错
影片中出现的通缉令上的照片也是史上流传下来据说是Billy the Kid的唯一照片。
长枪,旷野,牛仔帽,骑马,血浆,苍凉的音乐,西部片元素齐全。法外狂徒所有的柔情都给了儿子。The world is changing.You go see It’s a place I don’t belong in no more.I’m hoping …..you do.结尾儿子怀亚特向着远处离开的背影好苍凉啊。
这么一个俗套的故事被导演拍得还挺好看,不容易。
西部传奇“比利小子”的另一个版本,典型的西部套路。
bug多。题材无感。
7分
西部片的还魂,非常简单老派的故事,但就是男主这种老糙汉形象丰满了人物。
灾难级的垃圾剧本,肉眼可见的数不胜数的剧情漏洞竟然在烂番茄imdb上打出了十分迷惑的高分,最后为了达成“老亨利必死”这一目的的反转安排的过于弱智了,不知道这片子到底有什么光环护着😅
好久没有。
简单的剧情,简单的拔枪战斗,一切都中规中矩
