Erstwhile Special Forces operative Doc Alexander is asked to broker a truce with the Mexican drug cartel in secrecy. When Oklahoma Governor Richard Jeffs celebrates the execution of a high-ranking cartel member on TV, his Chief of Staff and Doc inform him about the peace he just ended. But it’s too late, as Cuco, the cartel’s hatchet man, has set his vengeful sights on Doc’s daughter Dixie.
They don’t make ’em like Little Dixie anymore: honed to the bone, all gestures and actions, only a few words. Too many genre films these days try to create meaning by piling ideas and intentions on their narrative frames. John Swab, as always, works the other way around. Meaning and depth come from taking away whatever is superfluous – by reducing the plot to its bare essence and the characters to their core trades and tricks.
Ultimately, Little Dixie feels like the pulp fiction version of a Giacometti sculpture, all fearful symmetries and mirror images. A gem of crime cinema at its purest and most philosophical, proudly featuring noir’s new darling, Frank Grillo.

“欢迎光临!欢迎光临,西餐猫!!”
阿蕾塔和小黑工作的“西餐猫屋”以画有猫的招牌为标志。
乍一看,这是在日本随处可见的普通餐厅,但每到7日一次“特别营业”的“多耀日”,门就会连接到异世界的所有地方。
通过门,今天也有各种各样的“对面世界”的客人来到这里,对着极品料理啧啧称奇,然后又回去。
描写聚集在这家店的人们与料理的一期一会的故事。
温暖的相遇之门再次相连。@www.kkju.cc
