白日杀机

　　英国摄制的间谍动作片，根据佛德烈．福赛的畅销小说改编，描述苏联的情报局计划展开一场惊天大阴谋，目的是要摧毁北大西洋公约组织和英美两国的友好关系。他们派出一名高级情报员乔装混入英国的一个小镇，伺机在当地的美军基地装置核弹加以破坏。迈克．凯恩饰演的英国间谍侦破这个阴谋，乃千方百计阻止奸计得逞。有趣的是饰演苏联特务的皮尔斯．布鲁斯南，日后却成为苏联特务的克星007。导演约翰．麦肯西处理气氛尚称紧凑，而冰天雪地的外景则增加了戏剧场景的可看性。

　　一群豪門富二代死黨年紀輕輕，但物質世界的狂歡卻早已不能滿足他們。這三男兩女輪流出主意，浪擲千金只為了帶大家找點樂子。直到一晚，他們在深山裡經歷一場神秘儀式昏迷後醒來，發現口中長出了吸血鬼的獠牙。衝擊的恐慌過去之後，他們以這個全新的身體繼續作樂，但遊戲卻逐漸失控。本片由鍾瑶與曹晏豪領銜主演，在片中展現流利的英文，飾演一對相愛相殺的情侶，鍾瑶更與荷蘭演員薛斯布隆（Gijs Blom）大搞曖昧。
　　這是荷蘭導演王洪飛繼《R U THERE》、《小玩意》後，第三度在台拍攝長片，並於高雄及台北兩地取景，衛武營與高雄港夜色盡收片中。創作關注都市人空虛心境的導演，新片也延續此一母題，並在把玩吸血鬼傳統之餘，也讓它成為人性催化劑，宛如《嗜血戀人》遇上《高富帥俱樂部》，影片的攝影與獨特打光手法，也呈現了一個既熟悉、卻又陌生而迷人的台灣景色。

　　A most pleasingly atmospheric rendition of the tale, noirishly photographed and moodily set, this is the version which probably would have delighted Conan Doyle the most. There is one important plot change which enables the beautiful Alice Brandt to enjoy both a larger role and a more intriguing part in the proceedings. This change also builds up the parts of Dr Mortimer and Lord Charles, yet at the same time provides a nice introduction to the is-he-sinister or is-he-a-good-guy Barrymore, deftly played here by Fritz Rasp.
　　Despite the sting of its well-developed story, the spellbindingly atmospheric direction and the engrossing performances delivered by the entire cast, many fans may find this version somewhat disappointing. For at least three reasons: As in the novel, the part played in the narrative by Sherlock Holmes, though vital, is minimal. And in this version, not only has no attempt been made to enlarge his role, if anything both writer and director do their best to minimize it. Holmes does not even make his entrance for half-an-hour, and when he does finally appear, he has his back to the camera. It is Fritz Odemar, as Dr Watson, who receives the more favorable camera angles. And there is a purpose in this. It is Watson, not Holmes, who figures as the main protagonist of The Hound of the Baskervilles. For the bulk of the narrative, Holmes disappears. It is Watson and Lord Henry (Peter Voss) who take up the running. The movie is almost over, before Holmes closes in on the villain. And even so, this is not the obsessed, self-important Holmes we are accustomed to see taking charge. Another problem is that the title hound itself does not figure a great deal in the action, a downgrading which will undoubtedly rate as another major disappointment for fans. And finally, it could be argued that the script gives too much attention to Conan Doyle's red herring, the escaped convict, and not enough to the real villain.
　　This said, it must surely be admitted by all, that Odemar's interpretation of Watson—intelligent, charming, level-headed, courageous and resourceful—is much closer to Conan Doyle's conception than either the bungling, inveterately stupid Nigel Bruce or the self-effacing Ian Fleming.
　　One other player deserves special mention: Erich Ponto (Dr Winkel in The Third Man) who seems exactly right for Stapleton. A difficult part, superbly played.
