神奇按摩院的商业秘密3

无情混蛋

　　这部动作片讲述了尼克 (Casper Van Dien) 和里克 (Sean Patrick Flanery) 这对昔日搭档的故事。他们曾是无坚不摧的杀手，直到尼克睡了里克的女朋友。多年后，一位新犯罪头目桑尼·吉尔 (Parmish Verma) 崛起，主宰了他们的犯罪世界。他们以前的老大说服他们放下恩怨，再次联手完成一桩任务，酬金为 500 万美元。尽管过去有嫌隙，为了拿到报酬，他们还是暂时搁置了分歧。然而，如果他们不想先死于内斗，就必须控制好自己的情绪。

我能有个见证人吗

　　Can I Get a Witness? tells the story of a mother and daughter in a near-future world where huge sacrifices are made to maintain life on Earth.　　With its resources swallowed by e-waste and overpopulation, the world is experiencing an anthropogenic collapse. To manage, technological advances are shunned. Nobody has electricity and only people with exceptions are permitted cars. Most importantly, there is also a collective agreement that nobody is allowed to live beyond the age of 50.　　Oh’s Ellie lives with her teenage daughter Kiah (Keira Jang), who is starting her first day as a Documenter, an important role in this new world order. She uses her artistic gifts — beautifully conjured in animations — to draw the dying ceremonies, since printing and photography have been banned.　　Kiah is paired with Daniel (Joel Oulette), the young man who performs the contractual elements of each person’s end-of-life ceremony. He matter-of-factly provides the packages a person can choose, sets them up when the time comes, and performs the burials. But his new coworker is having a hard time handling the emotional impacts of the job.
