Plot Summary:In southwestern Ontario, ex-baseball player Ray Dokes, upon being released from jail, returns to his rural hometown to stay temporarily with his deceased father's Texan friend, small time horse breeder Pete Culpepper, until he has some footing in whatever the next phase of his life. Ray's two year incarceration was for assaulting Sonny Stanton, the arrogant son of the wealthiest stable owner and horse breeder in the area, Earl Stanton. The assault left Sonny needing a cane with which to walk. The general consensus is that Ray got a raw deal in that Sonny was the one who did the provoking by his actions. It is also consensus that Sonny is generally not a nice person, he who is not averse to using violence even against women, and has racked up a mountain of gambling debts, mostly betting against his father's horses purely as an act of defiance. Although Ray begins a sexual relationship with Pete's new spirited jockey, Chrissie Nugent, he wants to make things right with his old girlfriend, Etta Parr. Sonny has been buying up all the concessions for a combination golf course/residential development, Etta one of the holdouts, she who will sell her property to anyone but Sonny or his associates. Sonny's fortunes take a turn for the worse when his father goes into a coma while out of the country, with his stepmother invoking power of attorney, freezing all of Earl's assets so that Sonny cannot touch them while Earl is in his current state. When he goes further into gambling debt in trying to get some cash, Sonny believes he has a way out when two of his cousins, stable hands Dean Calder and Paulie Stanton, steal Jumpin Jack Flash, Stanton Stables' most prized horse insured for $10 million and arguably the fastest horse currently in North America. Dean plans to keep the horse only temporarily, specifically to market its services as a stud. In Jumpin Jack Flash, Sonny sees $10 million in his pocket if he can get someone to kill the horse. In finding out about the theft, Ray, in turn, comes up with a plan that he thinks will put Sonny in his place once and for all. But if the plan goes awry, it could mean Ray is headed back to the slammer for a much longer time.
剧情很简单,节奏比较舒缓,虽说是一部斗智片,却更有生活节奏。
喜欢片中的加拿大农场风景,那么美,又很生活,像空气一样自然。大多数人的生活都是在不断隐忍中寻找出路吧,片尾很正能量很励志。
剧情简简单单,文艺的场景配上优美的音乐让人感到舒适。
剧情拖沓,这部片我个人不太喜欢,有点无聊了。
寒假舒服的窝在家里,看一些慢节奏的电影,很棒!!
当风景片看
看名字还以为是喜剧。全片枯燥乏味,除了音乐挺好听的外
节奏不紧不慢,智取,风景不紧不慢!
慢节奏的爱情,慢节奏的风景
真的看不下去,节奏太慢了,我就当国家地理看一看了
不紧不慢的智取故事
剧情拖沓,男主发福,“智”在最后1/4才出现,显然不合我胃口。。幸亏2个菇凉都很貌美
又见美人一星。烈马一星。吉他、口风琴配乐的牛仔风和Canada绿色点缀其中的金黄农场一星。女骑手半星。
淡淡的感觉,淡淡的舒服。
节奏有点太过缓慢
我室友说这是他高中时在电影院里看的。。大致就理解了,加拿大人民自己的小成本电影,本来就是枫叶国内院线
唯一的亮点是风景。
有Lisa Ray就是好看的!永远都不要放弃希望~~总会有办法的。
劇情很簡單...
不紧不慢的节奏,风景和音乐都不错
