替上帝殺人的事業要堅持幹下去。

1999年，Troy Duffy自編自導了一部暴力動作cult片【處刑人】。和許多難登大雅之堂的小cult片一樣，【處刑人】一開始也只能通過家庭錄影帶和影碟的渠道進入到影迷視野中，隨著影迷的互通有無口口相傳（我本人也是在若干年前網友的強烈推薦下才看到此片），影片引起熱烈的反響，不僅在小眾cult迷中受到狂熱的追捧，甚至在次年還登上了大螢幕，攏獲一大群死忠Saints Fans.

 

誰也沒有把【處刑人】看得很「認真」，儘管再喜歡，再紅極一時，它仍然只是一部「當下看起來很爽」的娛樂消遣品而已，just a one night thing, never call back~ 於是當我看到【處刑人2】的海報的時候，震驚啊。這無疑再次印證影迷的力量有多強大，好萊塢的眼光有多勢利。

 

其實就「處刑人」的故事來說，第一部已經終結的很徹底，電影的魅力體系也已搭建完善，加上各主演的完美演出，實在是沒有拍續集的必要。可是導演的野心不小，似乎不願意將他的得意作品終止在一部邪典經典的層面，而希望打造一個邪典經典系列。「在製作【處刑人2】的時候，我意識到自己必須選擇正確的方向，就算讓我對抗全世界，我也不可能背叛那些曾經真正擁護過我的影迷們。」既然導演都這麼說了，我們這些Saints Fans當然要力挺！

 

續集看完後，大致的感覺是：視覺效果火爆升級，槍戰場面的張力有所增強，是老一套的暴力美學。遺憾的是cult味被削弱，最明顯的特徵是fu*k一詞的使用率連第一部的零頭都不及，令人印象深刻的「處刑」戲也不再有儀式化的美感，基調不如前作有著華麗的黑色吸引力。故事的重心也已轉移，查找真兇是續集中處刑人的首要任務，而不再是前作里「代替上帝懲罰惡人」那般膾炙人口。導演還效仿【教父2】拍出一段父輩的陳年往事，加重父親的戲份，以求增加故事的歷史質感，也為本身略顯單薄的劇本增加了些許厚度。總體而言，續集的風格有沿襲，有增添，豐富了故事元素，儘管減少了前作的侵略性神韻，依舊cool炫拉風，當man不讓！

 

演員部份，新增的兩個亮眼配角搶走處刑人兄弟太多的風采。一個是Clifton 科林斯 Jr.扮演的墨西哥人，作為處刑人陣營中的新搭檔，活潑搞笑的形象頗具喜感，在【陽光清洗】中斯文內斂的獨臂男到了這裡卻成了打架殺人的高手。一個是Julie Benz所扮演的性感又智慧的FBI探員，她除了彌補續集中缺少Willem Dafoe角色的重大缺憾之外，還有讓觀眾大飽YY之福的巨大功效，說句實在話，蝶某人不想和她上床那就太假了（在《絕望主婦》第六季中的兩集客串出場早已讓我有此邪念了）！ turn me on turn me on咧～

咳咳，扯遠了，最後說一下ending，Willem Dafoe還是不負眾望地出現了，小秀了一把臉，目的是為【處刑人3】做引子啊！好傢夥，導演是真要搗鼓出一個cult片界的「教父三部曲」啊，Saints Fans要集體振臂高呼萬歲了！

4、Eunice: With all due respect... man I hate it when people say that because it is inevitably followed by a disrespectful remark. Here let me give you an example: With all due respect detective, this matter falls under whatever jurisdiction I fuckin' say it does.

 

5、Rocco: There's two kinds of people in this world when you boil it all down. You've got your 'talkers' and you've got your 'doers'. Most people are just talkers, all they got is talk. But when all is set and done, it's the doers who change this world. And when they do that, they change us. And thats why we never forget them... So which one are you? Do you just talk about it or do you stand up and do something about it? Because believe you me, all the rest of it is just coffee house bullshit.
