自由奔放的巴德利一家逃离了贝鲁特的有毒污染，在他们建造的乌托邦山庄中寻求庇护，但出人意料的事却发生了，一个垃圾填埋场就建在他们的围墙外，将整个国家的垃圾和腐败带到了他们的家门口。。奥德尔（茅斯·达夫 Mos Def 饰）和路易斯（约翰·哈克斯 John Hawkes 饰）两位小贼相识于铁窗之后，颇为投机的两人决定出狱之后联手行动，干一票大买卖，就此安度余生。于是，两人将目标放在了名为弗兰克（蒂姆·罗宾斯 Tim Robbins 饰）的富有资本家身上，他们绑架了弗兰克的妻子米奇（詹妮弗·安妮斯顿 Jennifer Aniston 饰），以此向前者讨要巨额赎金。 可是，很快，奥德尔和路易斯就发现，他们的盘算落空了。原来，弗兰克早就有了性感美艳的情人玛姬（艾拉·菲舍尔 Isla Fisher 饰），根本没有想要赎人的意思，他巴不得两位绑匪尽快了结自己的糟糠之妻，如此一来自己便可以省下一大堆麻烦。。The subtitle of Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet’s first feature, from 1965, “Only Violence Helps Where Violence Reigns,” suggests the fierce political program evoked by their rigorous aesthetic. The pretext of the film, set in Cologne, is Heinrich Böll’s novel “Billiards at Half Past Nine,” which they strip down to a handful of stark events and film with a confrontational angularity akin to Bartók’s music that adorns the soundtrack. The subtlest of cues accompany the story’s complex flashbacks. The middle-aged Robert Fähmel tells a young hotel bellhop of persecutions under the Third Reich| his elderly father, Heinrich, an architect famed for a local abbey, recalls the militarism of the First World War, when his wife, Johanna, incurred trouble for insulting the Kaiser. A third-generation Fähmel is considering architecture, just as the exiled brother of Robert’s late wife, returns, only to be met by their former torturer, now a West German official taking part in a celebratory parade of war veterans. Straub and Huillet make the layers of history live in the present tense, which they judge severely. The tamped-down acting and the spare, tense visual rhetoric suggest a state of moral crisis as well as the response—as much in style as in substance—that it demands.。
