Carol Jeffries (known as 'Jeff') is a naive American woman staying in the Phillipines. She is given ten years in prison after being set up by her drug-dealer boyfriend, Rudy. She endures the harsh conditions, sadistic head matron and attempts on her life, then convinces her cell-mates to try to escape with her through the jungle, in spite of the knowledge that ruthless trackers will be sent out after them. ”
“ Legend has it that Sam Arkoff, head of American International Pictures saw a statuesque Grier at his company switchboard and cast her on the spot for her breakthrough hit Coffy. That, as they say, is bull shee-it. The former beauty queen made her film debut in 1970 as an extra in Russ Meyer's big breast bonanza Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls, and appeared in a number of B-pics shot in the Philippines the following year for AiP's rival company, Roger Corman's New World Pictures. Alongside her role as the tough-as-nails prostitute in Big Doll House were supports in the horror flick The Twilight People and as a topless hooker (again!) in Cool Breeze, then back behind bars for Women In Cages.
In Women In Cages, Grier plays the sadistic warden for once, a pot-smoking lesbian with a fully-equipped torture chamber (including a guillotine!). The 'New Fish' (a recent inmate, for you prison film novices), a ditzy blonde ex-stripper called Alabama, has taken the heroin possession rap for her pimp boyfriend. She knows too much, so the pimp blackmails her cellmates to execute her. A competent and well-shot entry in the tropical prison genre from Filipino director Gerry De Leon, it places the embittered ex-addict and prostitute Grier in the position of slave owner, watching her white charges toiling away in the plantation with obvious ironic glee.
蛮有趣的话剧式电影，非常明显的人物上场再退场以串联故事，但作为悬疑色彩这么重的片子，结局却唐突又情理之外，这太糟糕了。
严重依赖剧本和演员演技的话剧电影，只有一个场景，一点也不枯燥，节奏飞快，转折不断，非常厉害了。8/10
也有不太严谨的地方，但现在还愿意尝试这种风格，还能完成得这么好的片子，必须五星致敬。同类可看《夺魂索》《足迹》《死亡计中计》《暂无出口》《在糟糕的日子里》
Berlinale居然会入没想到 肯定又有人要出来说这说那了（嘻嘻）剧情本身不反套路吗？挺棒的啊 也许我对黑帮题材本来就有滤镜吧 这是“凡人”也有搞翻（搅屎）帮派的典范哈哈哈哈哈 😃😃😃
I’m not a tailor I’m a cutter. Throat cutter ~only listening no talking
一直看到临近结尾阿武和师父从酒馆里走出来，送阿武上车时跟他说如果车费有剩余记得拿回来给我的那一幕才彻底明白了阿武在师父心里的份量，也确实没想到这竟然说师徒此生最后的缘份。
能理解郭德纲他们那种戏谑人生了
20220603，单一场景的佳作，剧情转换再转换合情合理；谈笑间樯橹灰飞烟灭，最后5分钟，左青龙右白虎，7分。
怪不得北野武这么喜欢踢踏舞，总是和我所知的北野武有些违和
独幕剧，非常jazz，剧本顺畅，这很学院派！
所以也就是看个乐吧
老戏骨小成本密室杀人，适合引进改编，容易让电影院有回光返照的错觉。
有車錢記得回來還我，高跟鞋。
所以，《The Outfit》应该译作《马甲》或《绝不抛头》。
偏古典风格的推理悬疑，当然还有犯罪。
非常细腻有趣的人物关系和情感，对舞台演出的执念和渴望逗笑观众的真诚，足以打动我。非常喜欢最后的一个长镜头。年长后的主角回到了过去，那些可爱的人，回忆里的人，渗透了真诚的想念
舞台剧式封闭空间的小成本悬疑片，看完我第一感受就是：稳！太稳了！故事结构、台词设计、叙述的推进节奏，全程都非常稳。
英国演员真是充满惊喜
越美好的过去，回味起来反而越心酸。对过去的怀念，遗憾，师傅的照顾与教导，都会被时间裹挟着冲淡。
看着眼熟，应该是头号玩家里那个游戏公司创始人，男主角演技太强了，演技感觉像天神下凡，这他妈是掌控。和沉默的羔羊里安东尼霍普金斯一个级别的。想要补看他的作品了
