A pilots pregnant wife is killed by a band of thugs who break into their home. The gang is caught and sent off to prison. Wanting to see that "justice" is done the pilot stages his own death and then gets himself arrested so he can hunt the killers in the prisons into which they have been sent. 　　 　　To be honest the story is a bit clichéd with the plot taking some obvious paths once things are set in motion. Normally that would be a bad thing but here the film works largely thanks to a very good cast of mostly unknown actors. The stand out is Andy Serkis, best known for playing Gollum in the Lord of the Rings movies. Here he's the head of the nasty band and his vileness seems to drip off the screen. If you want to know why Peter Jackson chose him to play the tortured creature in the big budgeted epic look no further. Serkis isn't on screen much until the final portion of the film, but his evilness in the early part of the film hangs over everything like a dark cloud. 　　 　　Definitely worth a look for those who want an undemanding thriller, and those who want to see what Andy Serkis is capable of when he isn't doing just a computer generated character. 6.5 out of 10.

这是关于The Clash乐队灵魂人物Joe Strummer的记录片。The Clash乐队是一支在英国朋克乐坛历史上占有重要地位的乐队，几十年前，当朋克音乐如火如荼的发展的时候，当性手枪乐队横扫朋克摇滚乐坛的时候，一支朋克音乐的新生力量正在迅速崛起，这就是The Clash碰撞乐队。朋克音乐发展为今天的这种繁荣景象，The Clash起到了巨大的推动作用。乐队组建于1976年，由Mick Jones任吉他手，Joe Strummer任主唱，Paul Simonon任贝司手。Topper Headon任鼓手。Joe Strummer生于政治世家，很多歌曲以政治为题材，有浓烈的左派思想，上世纪70年代末期到80年代可谓是叱咤英伦乐坛，掀起朋克浪潮，1982年成功打入美国市场。 2002年12月22号下午，Joe Strummer这位50岁的朋克偶像在屋内跌倒身亡，死因为心脏停止跳动而辞世。许多音乐人带着沉重的心情哀悼Strummer的过世，U2主唱Bono在官方网站上留言：“The Clash是最伟大的摇滚乐团，他们为U2写下最佳守则 我们本要在一月碰面，跟Dave Stewart一起完成我们为曼德拉所创作的歌，这真是太震惊了！”　　记录片展现了曾经那个岁月的激情，生命永远在理想的中不会老去，那份情怀，终会有心照不宣的共鸣。片中U2主唱Bono，以及好莱坞明星约翰·库萨克 ，约翰尼·德普，马特·狄龙以及美国独立电影导演吉姆·贾木许都会有对这个天才摇滚音乐人，诉说感怀和怀念。
