Carol Jeffries (known as 'Jeff') is a naive American woman staying in the Phillipines. She is given ten years in prison after being set up by her drug-dealer boyfriend, Rudy. She endures the harsh conditions, sadistic head matron and attempts on her life, then convinces her cell-mates to try to escape with her through the jungle, in spite of the knowledge that ruthless trackers will be sent out after them. ”
“ Legend has it that Sam Arkoff, head of American International Pictures saw a statuesque Grier at his company switchboard and cast her on the spot for her breakthrough hit Coffy. That, as they say, is bull shee-it. The former beauty queen made her film debut in 1970 as an extra in Russ Meyer's big breast bonanza Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls, and appeared in a number of B-pics shot in the Philippines the following year for AiP's rival company, Roger Corman's New World Pictures. Alongside her role as the tough-as-nails prostitute in Big Doll House were supports in the horror flick The Twilight People and as a topless hooker (again!) in Cool Breeze, then back behind bars for Women In Cages.
In Women In Cages, Grier plays the sadistic warden for once, a pot-smoking lesbian with a fully-equipped torture chamber (including a guillotine!). The 'New Fish' (a recent inmate, for you prison film novices), a ditzy blonde ex-stripper called Alabama, has taken the heroin possession rap for her pimp boyfriend. She knows too much, so the pimp blackmails her cellmates to execute her. A competent and well-shot entry in the tropical prison genre from Filipino director Gerry De Leon, it places the embittered ex-addict and prostitute Grier in the position of slave owner, watching her white charges toiling away in the plantation with obvious ironic glee.
在这样的洪流背景下，塞入两个足以改变历史的虚构角色，让我们旁观为我们叙述。不论当时张伯伦这么做是恐惧懦弱还是知道自己会成笑话的牺牲还是为了撕开希特勒虚伪的做派，他拖延的这些时间真的救了英国，不管是不是为了美化历史，八十多年后来看当时的事，为了自己的国家他做了很多，也只能这么多
第一次在Netflix看片...想起剑桥五杰...想去oxford念书
镜头故意晃，营造紧张氛围。但是并没有紧张~
有些说putin是当代小hitler的，不是坏就是傻，被西方洗脑洗傻了
本次打分纯属艺术创作能力评价，不包含是非评价。因为，没有人拥有上帝视角，也就没有人了解一切的“真实”，而历史本无是非，每个陷入历史漩涡里的人，都是站在自己的立场和理解上，做出当时当下认为最正确的判断和行为，我无力评判，只能思考。

虚构的剧情和人设有点太假了，今日的乌东俄语区就是当年的苏台德地区，而欧洲人对纳粹的绥靖主义还在继续
在战争面前，个人的力量有时候显得很无力甚至很无能，尽管他们拼出了浑身解数。比如被人诟病的张伯伦，还有那两个不起眼的小人物。电影从一个全新的角度再现了二战来临前的少为人知的故事背后，很精彩。
现在的同盟国主旋律都这么拍了啊？充满了小学作文的套路，英德首脑上班没事就爱跟科员掏心掏肺，两个小朋友在一群党卫军守卫的会议大厅急赤白脸地争论间谍行动方案，最后两位主人公着急大喊寄意寒星荃不察，张伯伦微笑说我以我血荐轩辕，大家都感觉胸前的红领巾更加鲜艳了。现在能把英国二战的绥靖洗得干干净净，未来就能解释为啥北约到处抛媚眼，勾搭到手再跟人家说“要不我们做兄妹吧”。
张伯伦就是个优柔寡断的老混蛋，德不配位害人害己，永世也洗不了白。
咋地？张伯伦是隐忍的英雄？绥靖还有道理了？铁爸爸演张伯伦也阻止不了我骂他^_^另外我有了新的cp嘻嘻嘻嘻嘻
7.8，为张伯伦翻案，是有那么点味儿了。但我同意原著的部分思想，张伯伦是个妥协派，也渴望和平。
Paul并没有准备好牺牲自己。其实很想看看Paul怎么从刚开始的pro Hitler到后期加入secret opposition的过程。
哎也是不知道是不是历史重现 - 2022 Jan.
二战前夕的惶恐和一战留下来的创伤奠定了这部片子平稳、克制、压抑的叙事基调，无助与希望两股力量在那个年代每一个人心中不停对立冲撞。几乎没有太过戏剧化的高潮，但依旧精彩得让人目不转睛。把原著以惊悚谍战为主的心理戏完美呈现了出来，主演们的演技是此片得以成功的精髓。
铁叔抢去一切风采，故事一般吧，没有非常好的紧张感。
一些从新的角度展现的历史/谍战片，演员表演方面没有什么问题，就是莉娜这个角色太工具人了。
影片没有像过去的二战时期一样叙事，更多的着笔于人物内心的刻画与演变，以人为本，总是好事；任何大背景下都有义盖云天的小人物在努力，可能尽管改变不了结局，也会彰显人性的光芒；人物越笨拙，故事越真实，人若是从结局往开始的方向活着，会出现更多拔枪的壮士。摄影有点操蛋，该晃不该晃的都瞎几把晃，既没添光加彩，还略失时代庄重，晕车患者慎入……
翻案张伯伦，希特勒找的演员莫不是之前演喜剧的那个？
