Siddartha (Dhritiman Chatterjee) is forced to discontinue his medical studies due to unexpected and brutal death of his father. He has to now find a job in stead. In one job interview, he is asked to name the most significant world event in the last ten years. His reply is 'the plain human courage shown by the people of Vietnam', instead of the expected - man landing on moon. The interviewer asks is he is a communist. Needles to say that he does not get the job.
He reaches a coffee shop where he is offered to work for the communist party. When he does not show any interest the party leader tells him about an opening for a medical representative. To escape from the heat and have a snooze, he goes in to a cinema. As a government propaganda newsreel is being shown before the feature, a bomb explodes in the cinema hall. In the stampede that follows, Siddartha, breaks his watch. He goes to a watchmaker but he cannot afford the repairs.
Waiting to cross the road, he notices a sexy girl. He drifts back to his days as a medical student in a flashback. The professor is explaining anatomy of female breast. Many flashbacks and dreams occur to Siddartha through the film.
On his way to hostel, he has an encounter with some hippies. Along with an ex-classmate, he goes out to see a porn film but to their disappointment, the film turns out to be not-so-pornographic.
In such constant wandering in a Calcutta, disintegrated relationships with his sister and a Naxalite (militant communist) brother, his friendship with Keya is only thing that keeps him sane.
Keya is a simple girl. They enjoy each other's company but they cannot make any commitment to each other due to the circumstances.
After yet another attempt at a job interview, Siddartha leaves the big city to take a modest job of a salesman in a far off small town. He writes to Keya that he still cherishes their relationship. And that he has heard that bird call again but this time it is for real, and not his mind. After completing the letter, he comes out to the balcony of his modest room. The bird calls again. He also hears the sombre chants of a funeral procession. As he turns to the camera, the picture is frozen.
This is the first film of the Calcutta Trilogy. The other two were and Seemabaddha (Company Limited, 1971) and Jana Aranya (The Middle Man, 1975). All the three films study the effect the big city of Calcutta has on the educated youth and the price it extracts from them.
The seventies were a difficult period for India and West Bengal. The Corruption was rampant; the Naxalite movement had created havoc in Calcutta. In fact, they had turned parts of Calcutta into 'liberated zones'. By the time the Naxalite movement died down, in 1975, Mrs. Indira Gandhi (then, Prime Minister of India) suppressed the fundamental rights and declared "Emergency" for her own political survival. Her son, Sanjay Gandhi became a dictator of sorts without any official designation. The opposition leaders were thrown into prisons.
About his social responsibilities as a filmmaker, in an interview with Cineaste magazine, Ray commented, "You can see my attitude in The Adversary where you have two brothers. The younger brother is a Naxalite. There is no doubt that the elder brother admires the younger brother for his bravery and convictions. The film is not ambiguous about that. As a filmmaker, however, I was more interested in the elder brother because he is the vacillating character. As a psychological entity, as a human being with doubts, he is a more interesting character to me. The younger brother has already identified himself with a cause. That makes him part of a total attitude and makes him unimportant. The Naxalite movement takes over. He, as a person, becomes insignificant."
In a letter to Seton in 1970, Ray wrote that Pratidwandi was the most provocative film he had made till then. The film is said to have evoked extreme reactions. "People either loved the film or hated it", Dhritiman Chatterjee told Andrew Robinson, Ray's biographer.
迈克尔·贝对动作场面的调度功力依然犀利，速度与激情系列应该让他去参一脚
好久没在电影院看这种无脑动作片了还是挺不错的，晕车人慎看摇晃镜头+90%车戏真的晃吐了，比较好的是女主人设不单薄戏份不花瓶，艾莎大美女简直太适合这种刚柔并济的坚强职业女性了
在电影的世界里，世界观的撕裂总是源于情节线的崩坏。
一部电影足以见得好莱坞影片在疫情的大环境下退步到何种地步，随意乱转无法连贯的镜头，虽然看着实拍花了很多钱但最终效果就是多机位随意剪辑出来的动作序列，以及所有角色没有逻辑，没有弧光，只剩下嘶吼的表演，让本片荣膺本年度的超级垃圾电影之一。
爆炸贝镜头功力依然还是一流，什么才是艺术就是爆炸💥
蛮好看的，后悔没去IMax厅，而且还是第一次在大银幕看卖拷贝和杰克。够刺激够爆炸够幽默，尽管Will的人性设计让人有时感觉有点懵，但其实还是能理解那种由于出生背景和成长环境所造成的复杂与纠结，于亲情与正义间不断徘徊。相较之下Jake的角色比较简单了，他完全可以驾驭更更更更更复杂人性的角色。女急救员很漂亮。总的来说一部合格的美国主旋律动作片。
开局还行，后面太扯淡了吧！内讧掐架，完事同唱一首歌，路上又和解？大哥，严肃点，抢劫跑路呢…
还行吧，没事找事 本来都过得挺好的，非要抢银行
好久没在电影院看这种无脑动作片了还是挺不错的，晕车人慎看摇晃镜头+90%车戏真的晃吐了，比较好的是女主人设不单薄戏份不花瓶，艾莎大美女简直太适合这种刚柔并济的坚强职业女性了
非常纯粹的追车类犯罪动作电影，虽然没有大的惊喜，总体完成度还是不错的。人物弧光也完成得挺好。近年来好莱坞这种“单纯”的作品已经变得越来越难得了，总是要夹带些乱七八糟的东西。
这是啥烂片，超低配版盗火线，剧情十分无聊，瞎打乱炸，爆炸贝可以退休了。
剧情弱智。全程摄影机跑的比车都快，镜头就没固定过，反而烘托不出紧张气氛了。
还是挺爽的，镜头各种飞，美式肌肉警车各种亮相摆造型，追车戏太长了有点无聊
实事求是只值三星 摄像混乱 人物性格混乱 两人小时候现在关系都挺混乱的
无限想快进的一部商业“大”片，我也算是迈克尔贝的忠粉了，变形金刚我都能洗，这部片是啥？不说剧情bug了，就说追车戏的一个多小时看的不困么，全程晃啊抖啊加fpv各种航拍，真腻。。。再说回杰克，你是有把柄在老贝手上么，除了车上唱k那段，接这个角色的意义何在？不停的blah大声喊台词，就算演坏人，你也像希斯莱杰学学啊，选个有深度点的坏蛋，这个角色真的毫无好感，比蜘蛛侠2里面的那个还要差，害~~~
颇具实验性质的贝导作品：标志性的飞车追逐和爆炸戏码概不缺席，摄影上更是较同类影片增添了许多罕见的视角；剧本上极度简化了主线情节，但令我惊喜的是在此基础上主要角色形象并不单薄，甚至双男主的兄弟情描绘得极具立体感。
爽片就是不要质疑合理性，枪战、追逐大片炸得噼里啪啦一地碎片。
开头就知道受伤小警察肯定不会死，杰克-吉伦哈尔必死。这套路，搞得我都感觉自己能去好莱坞当编剧了。
2022.4.23 比北美晚两周！服了 国内还删减了一分钟 正巧在上线这天(4.22)出资源了 还是没删减的 这谁还去看阉割版 笑死 但也刚好封校了看 没毛病 还是树人第一次彻底封校…也是刚知道是翻拍06年的丹麦电影 虽然是首发人工字幕 但其实质量已经不错了 这片在国内居然能过审有点惊讶 结局真有点不敢相信 黑人坚持要救护士和警察 丹尼因为黑人受伤想杀死护士 但却被黑人亲手射中致死 一个抢银行的故事 一个支行有3200万刀有点不敢相信 警官帮劫匪修车真是乌龙 抢完银行劫持救护车 杰克吉伦哈尔有点适合演反派的 合力救警察 还献血 6的 直接17岁就开始抢银行 还换司机就为了给受伤的警察做手术 还要医生指导手术 中途内部起内讧好几次 死的人居然是那个人的儿子 为了帮男主死掉了 最后男主gg
前一个小时还有些许新鲜感，还以为卖拷贝要拍群像戏，一时竟有些好感，但是后一个多小时炫技式的镜头重复，追车片段冗长无趣，剧情悬念刻意而缺少逻辑，就又回归到导演的传统范式之中了。
