某日,巡警约翰(史蒂芬·鲍德温 Stephen Baldwin 饰)在街头偶遇了一名毒贩,约翰误以为毒贩想要攻击自己,便率先对其开了枪,哪知道毒贩的身上根本就没有武器,这也就以为着,约翰作为警察,杀死了一个手无寸铁的人,等待着他的,将会是严厉的裁决。 此时,某位神秘人物现身,帮助约翰脱离了困境,作为代价,约翰必须加入他所领导的一个特勤小组之中。此小组作风极为冷酷,执行任务之时实行格杀勿论的政策,约翰对此十分反感,却也无可奈何。一次行动中,约翰放走了一个无辜的脱衣舞娘肯蒂(蒂亚·卡雷尔 Tia Carrere 饰),行动小组得知此事,遂对肯蒂发起了追杀行动。
The summer before college, bright-yet-irreverent Elliott comes face-to-face with her older self during a mushroom trip. The encounter spurs a funny and heartfelt journey of self-discovery and first love as Elliott prepares to leave her childhood home.
Writer-director Megan Park’s tender, surprising sophomore feature cleverly uses its high-concept premise of a visit from one’s future self to launch a refreshing, nuanced exploration of the uncertainties of young romance and coming of age. My Old Ass is a sweet teenage love story, a lively contemporary comedy, and a quirky riff on time-travel films all in one.
Maisy Stella and Aubrey Plaza have a terrific unlikely chemistry, as the sass and self-assuredness of the young Elliott, as played by Stella, blends and overlaps with Plaza’s sardonic humor as a more mature Elliott. The care and affection shown in the film’s depiction of Elliott’s rural hometown in her last days before taking off for adulthood visually highlights her emotional journey, evoking a nostalgia for days that haven’t even ended yet.—HZ
