故事发生在位于旧金山的普西迪基地,这是一座拥有着212年漫长历史的军事基地。一名女警的尸体在这里被人发现,旧金山警探杰伊(马克·哈蒙 Mark Harmon 饰)负责调查此案,让杰伊非常不爽的是,他的搭档是名叫阿兰(肖恩·康纳利 Sean Connery 饰)的男人,阿兰曾经是杰伊服役期间的长官,两人的性格针锋相对,一直互相不对付。更糟的是,杰伊爱上了阿兰的女儿唐娜(梅格·瑞恩 Meg Ryan 饰),这令两人之间的关系雪上加霜。
随着调查的深入,杰伊发现案情并不是他想象的那么简单,想要逮捕幕后的凶手,他和阿兰必须尽释前嫌携手合作,而他们所要面对的凶手也异常的强大和危险。
主角波特是黑道人物,成为黑吃黑的受害者,当然他有自己的原则,属于邪中带正的人物。他的同伙欲置他于死地,并且独吞了他的钱,拐走了他的女人。为了重拾尊严,讨回他应得的七万块美金,波特大开杀戒。 幕后: 影片开拍于1997年9月17日。之所以选择在芝加哥拍摄,是因为主创人员不想影片背景中的建筑具有闪烁着金属光泽的时尚风格,只要阴冷的灰色就好。并且,影片中的时代、人物和小巷都有一种荒芜衰退的外表。用导演布赖恩·海尔格兰德的话说,就是具有粗糙的质感,具有黑白影片的特殊风格。影片中的年代很模糊,地点也不确定。你不会发现40年代后的建筑,汽车的款式也没有89年之后的。为了让影像传达故事,摄影指导埃里克森·科尔(Ericson Core)刻意将色彩饱和度降低至最低值。同时,影片还潜隐着黑色幽默,梅尔·吉布森所扮演的角色是个直性子,不苟言笑,而一切错综纠葛、无事生非恰恰围绕着他而发生。 为了尽量除去城市中的颜色,剧组使用了大量棕色颜料,在每早开拍前,都有一名油漆匠随时准备涂掉街边的红色标记。 花絮: ·在导演布赖恩·海尔格兰德退出本片拍摄后,影片的30%被要求重拍。重拍整整延误了一年,因为梅尔·吉布森当时正在拍摄《致命武器4》。 ·影片在澳洲上映时,宣传口号由Get ready to root for the bad guy改为Get ready to cheer for the bad guy,因为在澳洲俚语中,to root意味着。 ·片中的所有电话都是旋转拨号的。 ·接替布赖恩·海尔格兰德重拍影片的人一直鲜为人知,梅尔·吉布森在后来接受采访时曾透露,接替海尔格兰德的是美工设计师约翰·迈尔(John Myhre)。 ·波特用的手枪是Smith
Wesson Model 27 357 Magnum。
‘Treasures from the Wreck of the Unbelievable’ charts the story behind Damien Hirst’s most ambitious project to date.

Hirst collaborated with director Sam Hobkinson and producer Nicolas Kent to chronicle the exhibi...
An alarmingly disproportionate number of Black women are failed every year by the U.S. maternal health system. Shamony Gibson and Amber Rose Isaac were vibrant, excited mothers-to-be whose deaths due to childbirth complications were preventable. Now, their partners and families are determined to sound a rallying cry around this chilling yet largely ignored crisis.
Directors Paula Eiselt and Tonya Lewis Lee follow Gibson’s and Isaac’s bereaved partners, Omari Maynard and Bruce McIntyre, as they fight for justice and build communities of support, bonding especially with other surviving Black fathers. Their tragic, individual experiences are punctuated with condemning historical context, showing that gynecology has a long-standing history of exploiting and neglecting Black women in America. In the arresting words of mother-to-be Felicia Ellis, “A Black woman having a baby is like a Black man at a traffic stop with the police.” She emphasizes that paying attention is paramount. Aftershock brings an unsettling reality to the forefront while uplifting the families, activists, and birth workers who are striving to bring institutional change and legislative reform. These mothers will not be forgotten.
Professor Bettany Hughes investigates the story of Bacchus, god of wine, revelry, theatre and excess, travelling to Georgia, Jordan, Greece and Britain to discover his origins and his presence in the modern world, and explore how 'losing oneself' plays a vital role in the development of civilisation.
In this fascinating journey, Bettany begins in Georgia where she discovers evidence of the world's oldest wine production, and the role it may have played in building communities. In Athens she reveals Bacchus's pivotal role in a society where his ecstatic worship was embraced by all classes, and most importantly women. On Cyprus she uncovers startling parallels between Bacchus and Christ. Finally, Bettany follows the god's modern embrace in Nietzsche's philosophy, experimental theatre and the hedonistic hippie movement to conclude that, while this god of ecstasy is worthy of contemporary reconsideration, it is vital to heed the warning of the ancients - "MEDEN AGAN" - nothing in excess.
