本片是1972年电影的重拍片，原版是表现大盗道克·麦科伊本着一诺千金和言必信、行必果的职业行规闯荡江湖的不凡经历。1994年这个新版本中，突出了大盗的妻子卡罗尔的戏份，她不再是丈夫的附庸，更是一个舞枪弄棒的同案犯。为了不让丈夫坐牢，她可以不惜一切代价。例如，她得知这次承办的抢劫案难度极大，但由于条件是道克可以免去牢狱之灾，因此她决定知难而上。但是，当钱抢到手之后她才发觉，真正的风险并不在于抢劫行动，而在于从逃离现场那一刻开始……

　　Siskel and Ebert once ran a special show entitled "Movies I'm Embarrassed to Admit I Liked." I suppose that if I composed such a list of guilty pleasures, this one would be one of them . . . but upon reflection, it's really a lot better than that. Fifteen year-old science prodigy Mitch (Gabe Jarret) is recruited by ambitious college professor William Atherton (in yet another of his patented roles as a loathsome character) to work on the professor's prize laser project, not knowing that the prof is really developing a government weapon. Along the way, Mitch is befriended by Chris (Val Kilmer), another prodigy a few years his senior who teaches the Mitch how to loosen up.
　　This could have degenerated into nothing more than just another teen revenge comedy, but there's so much more: the dialogue is laced with sharp wit; there are some lovely scenes that have nothing to do with the story yet are carefully set up, almost as blackouts (e.g., Mitch goes to a lecture at which a few students have left tape recorders instead of attending; later, at another lecture there are more tape recorders than students; and, in a final scene, one large tape recorder gives the lecture to a room populated by nothing but other small recorders!); and throw-away scenes that make you want to stop and back up the tape (e.g., Chris off-handedly cutting a slice off a bar of solid nitrogen to make a slug for the coffee machine).
　　It's also one of the few movies to boast the presence of the memorable Michelle Meyerink -- as Jordan, the "girl-nerd" who made being smart and female something to be emulated. And there's Tears for Fears great song, "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" providing the perfect coda as the closing credits begin to roll . . . . Yes: really now, what's there to be embarrassed about?

　　圣丹斯国际电影节上，一部名为 Tangerine （《橘色》）的电影受到了很多关注。这部影片的主题很新颖，讲述的是在好莱坞不那么光鲜的角落里工作的变性妓女；人物性格冷酷、有趣、有从不让人欺负的个性。不过，最令人吃惊的是，这部电影的导演 肖恩·贝克放弃了专业电影拍摄装备，选择 iPhone 5s 拍摄电影。很多业余电影爱好者使用 iPhone 录制电影，不过，Tangerine 是第一步全部使用 iPhone 拍摄并在圣丹斯电影节上展出的电影。肖恩·贝克使用 iPhone 5s 拍摄视频，并使用价值8美元的视频应用 FilmicPro 。肖恩·贝克表示，由于自己的预算有限，才选用了 iPhone 拍摄。当然，使用 iPhone 拍摄有一定的优势，比如无需从洛杉矶市政厅购买电影拍摄许可。
