Chapman and Maclain Way’s energetic telling of one of baseball’s great, unheralded stories is as much about independent spirit as it is about the game. When Portland, Oregon, lost its longtime minor-league affiliate, Bing Russell—who briefly played ball professionally before enjoying a successful Hollywood acting career—bought the territory and formed a single-A team to operate outside the confines of major-league baseball. When they took the field in 1973, the Mavericks—the only independent team in America—started with two strikes against them. What did Deputy Clem from Bonanza know about baseball? Or Portland, for that matter? The only thing uniting his players, recruited at open tryouts, was that no other team wanted them. Skeptics agreed that it could never work.
But Bing understood a ballplayer’s dreams, and he understood an audience. His quirky, unkempt castoffs won games, and they won fans, shattering minor-league attendance records. Their spirit was contagious, and during their short reign, the Mavericks—a restaurant owner turned manager, left-handed catcher, and blackballed pitcher among them—brought independence back to baseball and embodied what it was all about: the love of the game.

大隐隐于市,Billy the kid应该隐藏在城市,一望无际的农庄太容易暴露
剧情中规中矩,老亨利处事果断,枪法稳准,疾恶如仇。动作快,姿势帅。
拓荒精神下的孤胆英雄,有些科恩兄弟《大地惊雷》的影子。事了拂衣去,深藏功与名。想起戈达尔说的那句:一部电影只需要一步枪和女孩就够了。我也超想拍酷女孩枪手的故事。
不错的西部类型片,男孩的成长与老头的救赎。三分之二段落都挺老派的西部片,最后枪战不仅有近战,还有加时赛头目对射,拍得挺好,就是处理成现代动作戏了,结尾反杀没有必要,干脆死于枪伤更好。有几处深焦摄影构图不错
Billy the Kid! 有传统西部片的风骨~
片子足够完整,但是都普普通通,而且极其老套。感觉就像是看了部几十年之前的美国西部片的重映版。
it's a place I don't belong no more
又是这种一人干多人的小场面西部片,这种类型都看腻了啊为什么就没有个像七蛟龙那样的大场面西部片了呢
看过影评才知道原来这老头来头那么大,那他大舅哥说的没说,你们将要释放地狱风暴。
难得当下可以看到这么正统得西部片!没有话痨,没有黑人,画面充满质感。
绕了一圈还是回到原点
没有绞肉!做作。没有女性缠绵,没有都市矫情。
人如果是坏的一出生的就是坏的,救了他不止2-3次,为了出名反手就是偷偷开枪弄死,真的垃圾就是垃圾,第一次他儿子被架上刀子的时候就应该弄死了。
只是tmd活在这个奶头乐的当下,
这类西部片子我好有一比,就象中国古代的律诗或者八股文(优秀的那种),都是一个完整的小故事成功塑造一个人物,起承转合结构一板一眼的,精巧如同导演系毕业生的设计作品,可以平均高分,也不够特别出彩。
四星,平静的杀人,平静的死,像极了多数人的一生。
这么一个俗套的故事被导演拍得还挺好看,不容易。
课代表:即使你是成名已久,业界专家,金盆洗手的大佬,还是要谨记,没事别做烂好人,不要多管闲事
和《小人物》的剧情和人设高度相似,身怀绝技的老头,不知天高地厚的儿子,倒霉的闯入者
谁认出来了那个🇲🇽人是crazy8?
