This excellent period piece carries the weight of its time very well: the political paranoid of the late 60s, the impersonal sinisterness of large corporation, and the general mood of exploitation and distrust in the air. Boorman is sophisticated enough a director to spice up the simple, noirish story with creative cutting and a wild soundtrack, which jogs our mind from time to time, leading us to suspect undetected depth in the movie. The search may be futile, but the attempt can be fun.
The movie was re-made in 1990s into a Mel Gibson vehicle, "Payback". While the movie is trash, it is nevertheless interesting to compare the huffy threat of Lee Marvin with the blatant madness of Gibson. Suffice it to say that each serves the movie they are cast in well, in their own way.
《步步惊魂》是典型的黑色电影,凌厉而简洁的抢劫戏,夹杂着主角沃克的呓语,勾勒出主角沃克阴郁孤绝的状态,通过如梦般的闪回主角逃出了号称最森严监狱的阿尔卡特兹岛,而通过最开始的具有梦的色彩的回溯我们能够感受到故事的混乱暴力程度和暧昧、失衡的氛围,这些元素在那样的叙事方式下被强化。再次归来的沃克已是银发苍苍,而背叛他的妻子也与同样背叛他的友人里斯分开,紧接着向沃克忏悔过的妻子选择了自杀,而沃克走到窗前时却又听见妻子的歌唱,再次打开门只是空荡荡的房间,远处再次传来妻子的歌声
