此片根据詹姆斯·艾罗瑞(James Ellroy)的小说改编，女人描写了1950年代，女人警界腐败、犯罪纵横的洛杉矶。杰克·文森（凯文·斯派西 饰）是警界名人，常常出现在电视媒体中，与《嘘嘘报》的八卦记者狼狈为奸，靠制造和揭发明星的桃色新闻，赚取外快。艾德·艾斯力（盖·皮尔斯 饰 ）子承父业进入警局，野心勃勃，做事严谨，因为出卖同事而升职，受到大家的排挤；巴德·怀特（罗素·克劳 饰） 铁面无私，但是个性冲动，容易遭人利用。一桩疑似抢劫的餐厅命案将这三个人联系起来。艾德·艾斯力找到了三个黑人嫌疑犯，并被判死刑结案，还因此收到上级嘉奖，但是他却在进一步的调查中发现案子并没有那么简单，他说服了杰克·文森和他一起继续追查；巴德·怀特对餐厅命案一直心存怀疑，他找到的线索也显示，案子根本没有想象中那么简单。三个人迅速被卷入一个色情、毒品、谋杀、背叛、贪污、阴谋交织的网中，惊人的内幕......

回复 :一部由六段分攝於不同時期的膠卷所組合成的編年記事。約拿斯．梅卡斯以第一人稱的日記體，闡述他自1940年代從立陶宛流亡至美國的心情。梅卡斯的鏡頭關照著移民社群的日常，也在他方尋找自己的家，如同片中的自述：「我是攝影機的眼睛，我是見證者，我記錄了這一切。我不知道，我是在歌唱還是哭泣？」

回复 :Four seedy criminal outcasts risk their lives in pursuit of redemption, both legal and moral, by driving unreliable trucks stocked with nitroglycerine through dangerous landscape to cap an oil well fire in a Central American banana republic. Featuring a trance-like score by Tangerine Dream and a visceral, astonishing performance by Roy Scheider, Friedkin's reinterpretation of Clouzot’s 1953 masterpiece is perhaps the best remake of all time and is among Friedkin’s most daring works. Three sequences alone –a chaotic car crash in Boston, the unloading of charred bodies in a Central American village, and the explosives laden trucks crossing a rickety storm-blown bridge – render Sorcerer a classic and retain their power to make audiences gasp. Released the same year as Star Wars, Friedkin's audacious masterpiece represents the braver road abandoned by the studio system.

回复 :本片记录了西部非洲的乡下青年到城市打工的经历。许多尼日利亚青年离开位于内陆的家乡来到沿海国家象牙海岸打工，许多人在首都阿比让的平民区落脚。本片主人公是一位仿照美国电影明星取名爱德华·罗宾逊的年轻人，他在摄影机前讲述自己及其同伴的故事。The film depicts an ordinary week in the lives of men and women from Niger who have migrated to Abidjan, Cote D'Ivoire for work. After a short introduction by Rouch, "Edward G. Robinson"-Omarou Ganda, who like the film's other subject-collaborators plays himself under the name of a Western movie star-takes over the film's narration, recreating dialogue and providing freewheeling commentary on his experiences.
