一般法庭审案电影多将剧情重点放在控辩双方于庭上的唇枪舌剑，捍卫本片则别出心裁将主题拉到原告与被告双方律师的身上，捍卫因为他们的身份是父女。吉恩．哈克曼饰演从六十年代走过来的理想主义分子，专门替弱势族群打官方，希望在并不健全的资本主义社会制度下为这些被压逼者争取权利。玛丽．伊丽莎白．马斯特兰托尼奥则是典型的九十年代实用主义者，在旧金山的顶尖律师事务所服务，正争取成为公司的合伙人。父女俩道不同不相为谋，平常不相往来，如今却因为一宗控告汽车公司故意出产危害乘客安全的车种而互相对簿公堂，于是在公私方面都构成了强烈的矛盾。导演迈克尔．艾普泰德表现称职。
回复 :Trevor is 'between jobs'. He spends his days avoiding his nagging heifer of a wife by hiding out in his allotment shed and painting figurines for his wargames with his agoraphobic friend, Graham, and dreaming of his heroic alter-ego, the battle mage Casimir the Destroyer. When Mr Parsons, one of the other allotment tenants, petitions to have Trevor removed from his disgrace of a plot (he's not there to grow stuff!) an argument ensues that leaves Trevor with a corpse to hide. Unfortunately, this untimely accident coincides with the zombie apocalypse and Mr Parsons' return is just the beginnings of Trevor's problems. More pressing is whether or not he should try and save his wife and her beautiful best friend, who both he and Graham have a thing for.
回复 :年轻美丽的摇滚女歌手依莲（戴安·琳恩 饰），被一个飞车歹徒所绑架，于是有人出钱雇请她的前任男友汤姆（迈克尔·帕尔 饰）出面营救，一场充满勇气、爱情与冒险的救援行动于是上场。且看汤姆如何在摇滚乐的相伴下，出入大雨泥泞的街道、巷弄、仓库与地下铁。此片成就了一张精彩的摇滚电影原声带，Bonnie Tyler所演唱的“Total Eclipse Of The Heart”、以及“Making Love Out Of Nothing At All”，都获得空前的胜利。
回复 :影片讲述旧金山市两个出租车司机在唐人街里寻找一位偷走他们四千块钱的神秘客人的故事。虽然只是一部带有强烈个人风格的低成本影片，但这部影片被认为是独立制片的先锋作品，而且把亚裔美国人作为影剧院片主角引领到了大银幕上，而从此王颖也进入好莱坞主流导演行列。
