我们的存在(下)

　　风景优美的山间公路，气喘吁吁的凯尔，一边奋力踩著自行车，一边感谢死党麦可贴心在他婚前安排这趟旅程。「我和你未婚妻上床了。」麦可突如其来的坦诚，让上气不接下气的凯尔破口大骂，还得注意控制呼吸，好追赶上去痛扁他一顿。
　　导演麦可偕同好友凯尔合力编写剧本，并亲身上阵饰演这对相爱相杀的难兄难弟。从八分钟一镜到底的同名短片延伸而成，坎城首映后掌声如雷，不仅夺下评审团「怦然心动」奖，高明的场面调度与出众的幽默感，也获得〈综艺〉、〈好莱坞报导〉齐声讚誉。一针见血的men’s talk，垃圾话无下限，保证让男性观众看了会心大笑，贱有戚戚焉。

　　Sir Charles Baskerville dies at the entrance of his manor, and Doctor Mortimer says he died of natural causes. However, when telling Sherlock Holmes of the case, he feels Sir Charles' death was a result of a centuries old curse that runs in the Baskerville family, which Dr. Mortimer feels will strike at Sir Charles nephew, Sir Henry, who is arriving to claim the Baskerville estate. Holmes sends Dr. Watson in his place, along with Dr. Mortimer and Sir Henry, to the manor and for Watson to keep an eye out for any suspicious actions. Immediately after arriving, Watson notices the queer occurrences at the estate and surrounding moors, and sends Holmes reports of what is going on concerning the life of Sir Henry. Will Holmes arrive in time to unravel the mystery, and who is responsible for Sir Charles' death and the attempted murder of Sir Henry? Is it Dr. Mortimer, neighbor Stapleton, butler Barryman, harmless old Frankland, a mysterious wild man, or is there a curse on the Baskerville family? Very good opening entry in the Rathbone-Bruce Holmes series (even though this film lacks qualities of any ongoing entries.) The film could have been a bit more darker and foreboding (the film does have a movie studio set feel) and have an ending with a little more confrontation to it, but it does provide for much fun. The romantic scenes with Greene and Barrie have little spark, but there are very good red herring performances by the cast, which is a plus for this movie. Rating, 8.
