杰克逊和格林勉强让观众忽略了片中平庸的昆汀式风格、令人困惑的情节以及陈旧的刻板印象。
82岁的马丁·坎贝尔自2020年以来已拍摄了五部电影，他已成为继雷德利·斯科特、马丁·斯科塞斯、伍迪·艾伦等人之后，退休后依然活跃的导演俱乐部成员。
Jackson and Green just about manage to distract viewers from the sub-par Tarantinoesque flourishes, confusing plot points and tired stereotypes Having shot five films since 2020, 82-year-old Martin Campbell is a certified member of the post-retirement director’s club that includes Ridley Scott, Martin Scorsese, Woody Allen et al.
塞缪尔·杰克逊（年仅77岁）在这一过度设计的犯罪片中留下了他自《危险关系》以来最糟糕的发型——一个灰色的、卷曲的马尾辫配上底切，尽管以他的标准来看，他在片中的表现相当温和可爱。
Samuel L Jackson (a mere 77) sports his worst hairdo since Jackie Brown – a grey, crimped ponytail with an undercut – in this overworked crime caper, though he is on positively cuddly form by his standards.
犯罪头目杰克·沃尔夫（杰克逊饰）在西班牙语加勒比海岛上过着退休生活，偶尔还会下毒（见片头），但他开始感到不安。
Interrupting his retirement on a Spanish-speaking Caribbean island with the odd poisoning (seen in the intro), kingpin Jack Wolfe (Jackson) is getting antsy.
由于担心法律的制裁，他与风流成性的妻子诺拉（伊娃·格林饰）策划了一个阴谋：帮助他陷害她的冲浪运动员情人查德（杰森·费尔南德斯饰），让他为自己的“假死”背锅，然后他们平分巨额保险金。为了防止妻子真的杀了他，他录下了她承认意图的录音。
Afraid the law is close behind him, he hatches a scheme with his philandering wife Nora (Eva Green): help him frame her surfer lover Chad (Jason Fernández) for his supposed murder, and they will split the big-bucks insurance payout. He covers his back for the possibility she might do him in for real by recording her saying as much.
然而，诺拉还是将查德拉入了她的谋杀阴谋中，计划让他承担罪名——或者，也许她身边的侦探情人丹尼（欧文·马肯饰）会先发现真相。
But she ropes Chad anyway into her murder conspiracy, plotting to let him take the fall – or perhaps her detective bit on the side Dani (Eoin Macken) will get there first.
