《卧龙战警》是1992年的一部恐怖片。由比尔·杜克执导,杰夫·高布伦、劳伦斯·菲什伯恩、查尔斯·马丁·史密斯等联袂主演。卧龙战警,又名Deep Cover、Deep Cover。Having witnessed his junkie father killed Russell Stevens grows up to become a policeman and make a difference. When he is offered an undercover job by Gerald Carver he accepts and begins to build a relationship with David Jason in order to get to the main dealers. However as he is forced to deal drugs and kill to keep his cover he finds the lines between cop and criminal being lost – is he a cop pretending to be a dealer or a dealer pretending to be a cop?
Larry (as he was then) Fishburne's first lead role was a typically dark vehicle. The story is the usual one of cop losing himself when undercover, however it manages to be more than that for most of the time. Co-written by Tolkin, who wrote The Player, this naturally has a nice cynical edge to it when it looks at the US's hypocritical approach to drug control and the political links between the street hustlers and the political high rollers who court respectability. The story does eventually settle into a traditional setting but even then it works well as a thriller.
The multi-talented Bill Duke directs well with a gritty feel and a few nice touches. However several things are a bit iffy. For most of the film Fishburne's narration/voice over is a bit like a cross between Apocalypse Now and Blade Runner – it comes across as a little too dark and heavy and also explains things like we can't figure it out ourselves. However once you get into the film it's not as big a deal. My main problem lies with the characters.
Fishburne is excellent, a real model of underlying anger and violence, Goldblum is good but perhaps a little OTT on the yuppie/violence thing, but there's good support from Smith and Spin City's beautiful (and often underused – but not here) Victoria Dillard. However the two main white characters (Goldblum and Smith) are both smeared with racist insinuations – Smith appears to insult his black officers and doesn't care about the junkies, while Goldblum is fascinated about all things black and talks about them as wild beautiful beasts and loves having sex with "black'. These things aren't a major problem, but with basically only two white characters in it, it's a little worrying that both are given that edge.
However these are minor complaints that get lost with a good thriller. Fishburne excels and Duke delivers a story that is a good thriller but also has a jaded, subversive edge.

影迷点评:
左胸上的吸盘 说:全片最佳是摄影师Bojan Bazelli,此君和费拉拉合作最多,他把《纽约王》那种流光溢彩的暗调带到了这部,本身夜景不少,主演又是黑人,摄影师多用霓虹灯光和雕刻感的面部打光,配合菲什伯恩喃喃自语的画外音,赋予电影落寞、自省又带点迷幻的黑色质感。剧情较弱,菲什伯恩初入警队便作为卧底探员,介入到洛杉矶深邃的毒品交易网络里,作为黑人电影有一定政治性:毒枭的幕后老板是拉美政客,这次卧底任务牵扯党派纷争,而菲什伯恩只是枚棋子。白人上司是政治阴谋的传声筒,黑人警察则是菲什伯恩的信仰与良心。电影主线主要是菲什伯恩结识了搭档高布伦,慢慢做大生意得到接触大毒枭的机会,中间有些反传统的设计,比如怯懦的告密者突然暴起用餐叉刺小毒枭,菲什伯恩被仇人用尿淋裤子后发抖射杀,这些弱者处于慌乱中的暴力行为,在90年代初黑人动作片里常见
源 说:CC.背景设置在90年代霓虹灯遍地的洛杉矶街头,黑人警察参加美国缉毒局(DEA)涉及拉美毒品走私的卧底行动,他潜入西海岸最大的可卡因供应集团,却不时会想起自己的童年创伤:瘾君子父亲因持械搶劫失敗而死在雪地里,他立誓不会成为这种人。 “你知道怎样区别一个黑人和一个黑鬼吗?”在选拔会上他回答到:“那个黑鬼才会回答这个问题”,既不震惊也不挑衅。在毒品交易金字塔里向上移动時,他的合作伙伴推销起改良药物的方案,并宣称这将消除与种植、提炼、进口和劳动力相关的费用。 利用外交豁免权进口可卡因的毒贩说:“你们这些种族主义的美国人。你只是想把我们这些贫穷的拉美裔人完全赶出市场”,而解决种族意识的方法是建立毒品贩运的新地球村,资本会消除所有偏见,并影响政治选举,而他选择成为叛逆者和告密者,并坚守了道德底线。
秦诺诺 说:3.5星,导演比尔.杜克将自己喜欢的黑人剥削电影和富勒的黑色电影(他同时也是富勒的粉丝)相结合拍了这么一部挺有特色的黑片。影片的色调相当好,尤其是红色调的运用。杰夫.高布伦特别的帅,配角们的演技也都很好,菲斯伯恩年轻时候怎么和勒布朗.詹姆斯有点像呢。PS配乐特别带劲,funk 太好听了。
