纽约平淡的一天,临近退休的老警探杰克•莫斯利(布鲁斯•威利斯 Bruce Willis 饰)却接到了一个吃力不讨好的任务:穿行16片街区,护送一名犯人上法庭作证。
这本该是件极其轻松的事,从警局到法庭的车程只有15分钟,唯一的麻烦看上去也只是罪犯艾迪(茅斯•达夫 Mos Def 饰)滔滔不绝的废话而已。然而事实却远不止于此,一次针对艾迪的暗杀行动让杰克发现了幕后的真相:所谓的上庭作证不过是个幌子,真实的情况是以警局同僚、老朋友弗兰克(大卫•摩斯 David Morse饰)为首的一批腐败警察,借杰克护送艾迪的机会铲除污点证人。经历内心的挣扎后,杰克为了寻求心中的正义保护了艾迪,却成了纽约警局的众矢之的。16片街区的距离,从来也不曾如此漫长过……
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.
