暗殺兵團 暗殺兵團 (1993)

　　World War II is around the corner, but the only thing Sally Bauer can think of is the ocean. Her dream is to swim across the English Channel. Her father has tried to exorcise her obsession with swimming since she was a toddler, without success. An unwanted pregnancy forces her to abandon her dream – and herself. The child’s father does not want to be involved, so as a woman in the ‘30s in Sweden, Sally has no choice but to do what is expected of her: to be a mother. There is no place left for her dreams and Sally is pulled into bottomless darkness, until her sister Carla saves her. With renewed purpose, together the sisters begin to dismantle the conventions they are constantly facing. In late August 1939, Sally stands on the shore at Dover and takes her first step into the English Channel. She swims across the open and icy sea for 15 hours, waving to the Navy who are readying for war. A couple of days after Sally swims ashore at Calais, Poland is invaded.

　　在《吸血鬼德古拉》小說原作者布萊姆·斯托克筆下的一章“船長日志”中，“得墨忒爾”是把德古拉從特蘭西瓦尼亞運到倫敦的船的名字——這艘俄國帆船運送著50個沒有標記的大木箱出發，而此后在英國海岸線上擱淺，破破爛爛，全船僅存一個瘋癲的幸存者。本片的故事將詳細聚焦得墨忒耳號的那趟可怕旅程：某神秘的乘客把船員們一個接一個屠殺。

　　一名過氣冰上曲棍球教練，在麻州小鎮中領導一隊二流球隊輾轉作戰，終于在最后一場比賽中挽回他失落的名聲。這是一部拍得相當直率粗暴的男性化運動片，冰上曲棍球的比賽場面經常可見互毆和流血鏡頭，加上對白的"四字經"不絕于耳，當年首映時也引起了不少爭論。曾經合作過金像獎電影《刺激：騙中騙》的導演喬治·萊希爾和明星保羅·紐曼，再一次表現出賣力的成績。
