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

杰克吉伦哈尔表演出色
5.1 没有《洛克》那种随着通话内容层层叠加的混乱和绝望，这里的一切都是吉伦哈尔表演硬凹出来的，有时候觉得这有必要吗？
暴躁、偏执、情绪化，Jake 能别再演这样的角色了吗。
全程杰哈独角戏，99.9％的场景都在接线室，成本够低了。剧情也算是跌宕起伏，有逆转，两星半吧。
欣赏不来。。。 还以为剧情和画面会很精彩，结果就这？
broken people save broken people...
broken people save brken people。从一开始就目不转睛，代入感太强了。源代码老铁演技也是太强了。毕竟全局都只有他，但渲染的氛围却历历在目！强！
Only broken people save broken people. This is a film about redemption.
很美国本土，典型的PTSD男主遇见新的事件，随即对过去创伤做选择，因而转移了现时事件推进过程的一部分注意力，也少了北欧版的那种不留痕迹的提心吊胆。老吉过于sentimental。
我可太喜欢看老吉演戏了！！剧情不行全靠演技！！还有他的睫毛怎么那么长！！
电影是吉伦哈尔一个人的独角戏，演技也没得挑剔，但是电影整体来说显得平庸，可参考哈利贝瑞的危情911
没看过原版，除了是杰克的个人秀，大概还有结尾那么点现实意义。
落魄之人和落魄之人相互拯救的故事。最后在卫生间里怒脸拍，杰克·吉伦哈尔太秀演技了！
Broken people save broken people.
颜狗舔屏90分钟 就应该这样怼脸拍 很好👌
不及原版，杰克吉伦哈尔全程表演过火，输出靠吼。
个体总是片面性的，三思而行难抵一时冲动，如问心有愧，则难逃其罪
3.5吧，可能是我看过最独角戏的电影，也就是这种有明星魅力的演员才能演，其他人没耐心看下去了
看完这影片只有一个感觉：情绪管理很重要，情商真的很重要！人在激动的情况下，会忽略掉很多重要的细节。
剧情和2013年哈利贝瑞的剧情差不多，前者一个女主角撑起一部戏。后者一个男主角撑起一部戏。
