I'm envisioning the opening: the gritty sound of the engine, the feel of the sweat on your brow, the incessant ring of the phone... It's all about atmosphere. I'm imagining the darkness, just that single light from the dashboard revealing a face on the verge of total collapse. The film’s almost a one-man show, much like *Locke* or *The Guilty*, but with a grittier edge. This father, Tom, he’s in the car, speeding through the night, his knuckles white on the wheel. He's committed a crime, a crime he feels he had to commit. And on the other end of the line, this ominous voice – Toby Jones's voice – is manipulating him, threatening his daughter's life. The stakes are impossibly high, a true psychological pressure cooker. The tension has to be palpable, every moment a new agonizing decision. I need to emphasize the claustrophobic feel of the car, the moral ambiguity of the situation. I need to make the audience feel the weight of this moral dilemma. It's a trial of the soul trapped in a cockpit. The true brilliance of it is the performance from Luke Bracey – he has to carry the film. How far *would* you go? 【电影介绍】澳洲荒野的深夜，幽暗的仪表盘灯光映照着一张近乎崩溃的脸，车窗外是飞速倒退的虚无黑影，车内只有急促的呼吸声和不断震动的手机。汤姆正驱车狂奔在一条没有尽头的公路上，他刚刚犯下了一件无法挽回的罪行，而这一切仅仅是他噩梦的开始。 电话那头传来的声音冷静得令人发指，对方似乎对他的一举一动了如指掌，并声称掌控着他年幼女儿的生死。为了在那线生机消失前救回孩子，汤姆必须在飞驰的车轮上完成一系列违背道德甚至丧失人性的指令。这不仅仅是一场与时间的赛跑，更是一场关于灵魂赎罪的残酷游戏。 随着油门踩到底，车厢变成了一个狭窄且压抑的审讯室。汤姆在疯狂与理智的边缘反复横跳，他每做出一个选择，就在深渊里多陷进一分。当一个自诩为父亲的普通人被逼入绝境，他究竟能为了亲情堕落到什么地步？那条通往慈悲的道路，竟然是由无数个谎言和鲜血铺就而成的。 【观影点评】这部电影就像是一场被困在驾驶室里的灵魂审判，导演约翰·卡兰把极简主义的张力玩到了极致。全片几乎全靠男主角卢克·布雷西的个人独角戏撑起，他那种从惊慌失措到歇斯底里，最后逐渐走向麻木和毁灭的情绪转变，隔着屏幕都能感受到那种令人窒息的压迫感。 最妙的地方在于那个只闻其声不见其人的反派，托比·琼斯用他那充满磁性却又带着审判意味的声音，像剥洋葱一样一层层剥开男主虚伪的自尊和不堪的往事。影片并没有把主角塑造成一个完美的受害者，反而不断地抛出道德难题，让观众在同情与厌恶之间反复摇摆。 它不仅仅是一部肾上腺素飙升的犯罪悬疑片，更像是一则现代版的宗教寓言。当你在黑暗中跟随这辆车一路狂奔时，你会不由自主地代入其中：如果换作是你，为了最爱的人，你是否也愿意把灵魂卖给魔鬼？这种直击人性的拷问，比任何视觉上的恐怖画面都要来得震撼。如果你喜欢那种全程紧绷、看完后脊背发凉的心理惊悚作，这绝对是不容错过的冷门佳作。
