劇情介紹
簡（桑德拉·布洛克 Sandra Bullock 飾）是一位業務能力十分了得的法律顧問，她千里迢迢趕赴玻利維亞，只為了完成一項十分重要的任務——幫助陷入困境的前總統佩德羅（華金姆·艾爾梅達 Joaquim Almeida 飾）打敗他的對手維克多（路易斯·查維茲 Luis Chávez 飾），在選舉中扳回一城。
讓簡感到十分頭痛的是，佩德羅對于這場選舉顯然已經絕望透頂，根本沒有任何斗志和野心，甚至對人民的訴求毫不關心。與此同時，對方的選舉顧問派特（比利·鮑伯·松頓 Billy Bob Thornton 飾）亦是難纏的角色，兩三次交鋒過后簡顯然處于劣勢無路可走。就在此時，一場意外的發生讓簡看到了反敗為勝的希望。

2 ) 《危機大逆襲》
大衛·戈登·格林 David Gordon Green對劇本的選擇經常讓人摸不著北，兩頭不太靠的中庸之作。作為選舉諷刺劇，沒有足夠有意思的段子設置；而作為嚴肅的政治電影顯然不夠深入，浮光掠影。這兩類如今被美劇玩得很溜很豐富了。
另一方面，桑德拉·布洛克 Sandra Bullock還挺實用于這種打了雞血同時身處尷尬的人物，其實這就是一部圍繞明星的輕喜劇罷了，不難看。
另一方面，桑德拉·布洛克 Sandra Bullock還挺實用于這種打了雞血同時身處尷尬的人物，其實這就是一部圍繞明星的輕喜劇罷了，不難看。
3 ) 美國的骯臟游戲
這注定不是一部會大受歡迎的電影，但卻是非常有深度的一部電影。
對美國人來說，這部電影就像“丑陋的美國人”，不但揭露了“民主選舉”這個游戲怎么玩，骯臟的技巧和手段，更揭露了美國如何操縱其他國家的政局。
一開始來找女主的胖大媽，才是真正的狠角色，應該是CIA的，表面人畜無害，但能調動美國國務院，讓大使故意發表攻擊二號選手的言論，幫二號贏得反美群眾的支持，分掉一號選手的票源，為三號反超奠定基礎。
胖大媽找女主做為“一次性用品”，幫美國鐘意的候選人當選，為IMF的介入去除障礙，自由經濟、市場機制，聽起來很美好，但對經濟欠發達的國家來說，沒有任何保護的情況下，不過是一場“私有化”的掠奪盛宴罷了。成功了，美國、美國背后的財團大獲其利，失敗了，女主背鍋，胖大媽毫不顯眼的隱藏在眾人的光芒下。
這是一部真正彰顯女性力量的電影，女主、胖大媽、幫忙調查的小女生，都是專業人士，用智慧獲得成功，卻毫不當回事，從不吧女權掛在嘴邊，這才是真正的內心強大。
這部電影的英文名字，簡直就是現在特朗普的競選綱領嘛，只是特朗普不喜歡拿抗疫做文章，偏喜歡拿中國做敵人，實在有點舍近求遠，浪費了大好的機會呀，比如像中國，因為政府抗疫給力，民眾對政府的滿意度升到最高，本來特朗普也能靠抗疫成為英雄，卻偏偏不干，唉……
4 ) 如果投票能改變什么，遲早變成違法！
電影并沒有多少喜劇的成分，但出乎意料的好看！雖然電影的背景設定在南美貧窮小國玻利維亞，但把競選中發生的故事套在任何靠選舉競選總統的皿煮國家，不管是發達的西方國家，還是如電影中的貧困小國都毫不違和！
制造、攻擊對手的黑料！虛偽的帶上另一張面具！滿嘴謊話只要競選上就可以，至于當選上之后怎么做，who care！
就像電影中的臺詞：現實世界的政治就是這么運作，最初畫大餅，最后屁都沒有！如果投票能改變什么，遲早變成違法！
忽然明白了為什么某些國家演員可以轉眼競選總統成功？一定是占了演技好的便宜！
5 ) PR 永遠只能拿錢辦事
在我看來，PR只有在競選游戲中才會最大程度的體現出其完美的攻擊系統，換言之就是通過輿論把觀念管理的效果最大化，而且是排他性的存在。正常情況下，PR不過是帶著面具的職業工具，不可以帶任何個人立場的完成雇主賦予的使命。只有出現了一個必須作戰的理由，PR才會逾越道德界限投入到propaganda戰役當中。這部電影的劇情走向正是以此為轉折，打開了整個戰役的序幕。電影里的politics表現得很現實，他們向使用國家機器一樣的使用PR來達到目的，最終成為另一場游戲的籌碼繼續走下去，這也正是PR的悲情所在。

7 ) 搖擺不定的主題
《危機大逆襲 Our Brand Is Crisis (2015)》
一開始還以為是競選州長，結果競選的花招倒是不多，講述女一號的篇幅不少，片子的主題立馬搖擺不定。
而且諸多地方超出理解的范疇：
作為競選顧問，女一號難道不知道因自己的不端行為（打破對手競選顧問窗戶）進監獄是給競選對手提供優質炮彈？？這種行為直接連累服務對象（即總統候選人），不知道女一號對競選顧問這個職業是如何理解的。
作為總統候選人，競選的時候提出一個口號，上臺后改弦更張司空見慣，不過在上臺后立馬推翻承諾、不惜與支持者對抗，恐怕就相當罕見了。不管競選顧問如何花招百出，總統候選人背后總是有一個政黨或者是強大的支持者團體，就算這位總統候選人競選成功后不謀求連任，他的政黨在下一屆總統選舉總要退出候選人把？這種做法，不是宣告該政黨或團體的總統候選人，最起碼在今后一兩屆競選，都是浪費時間、浪費表情？？

不管民主實現的過程如何齷齪，結果如何不堪，背后多少黑幕，只要有權利幾年后再來一次，就足夠。一直喜歡美式政治片和政治劇，規則和潛規則、臺面和桌底、正義和邪惡、口號和手段，都是灰色的，沒有什么是非對錯，一切都基于利益和交易，這是人類社會運行的底色，也是人性的底色。
這年頭還有人跪舔歐美那一套的選舉制度，也是讓我覺得很詫異。不看新聞的嗎？頂層建筑準備好人選，老百姓從一堆爛貨里選一個稍微沒那么爛的，結果領導人一個比一個傻，一個比一個極端，只會炒作，無視發展和民生，這就叫民主了？選出來的只服務自己的金主，繼續維持頂層建筑的權力，老百姓死活都沒人在意，這叫好的體制？真的是笑得我啊。片子拍得不錯，挺好笑的。P.S. 西方國家總是能夠無恥地，把干涉他國內政，甚至侵略，美化成“我們是去幫忙的”。呵呵
3.5 比想象的好看不少。有傻大姐在笑料當然是不會少的，這也是我覺得恰到好處的一點，作為傳記？敘事題材，有這樣的幽默感很是加分，況且這次“傻大姐”的角色并不傻。競選過程激動人性，結尾的人性升華也是意料之外情理之中，狠狠地黑了把民主政治。
貨幣基金組織真的有毒，接受貨幣基金組織貸款，就是飲鴆止渴！
That’s the world, that’s politics. That’s how it works. It starts out with big promises and ends up with jack shit happening. · If you don’t like the road you are on, start paving another one.
大家都在兒戲，珍和光頭還是因為私人恩怨斗爭，為這哥們選舉也不是自我選擇，只是工作，負擔大任工作或者對于美國人只是游戲，玩完了覺得過意不去，自己做錯了，留下來悼念罷了。這是一次政客的斗爭，要做政治家就要會做政客，一樣的。
看到有評論說Jane可以算十年來美國電影里最好的女性角色，同意~Sandra Bullock的表演也可圈可點，可惜被平庸的劇本拖累了。整部片子的完成度其實還可以，但是太乏味了，看完以后沒有一場戲是特別印象深刻的。幾個有趣的點基本都被剪進預告了。以及BBT這角色好醬油T T
大意就是過橋抽板,不完全看懂,字幕菌西班牙語沒翻譯,參選議員一臉惡相,果然,玻利維亞小國找美國參選團隊來助選就是搬石頭砸自己的腳,人家玩民主早玩熟了----16.03.16又重看了遍藍光，世界總是這樣，小數服從多數，為了大部分人的利益，可以犧牲小部分人的利益，公平，公義，民主從來都是當權者洗腦伎倆
大量的引用名人名言，可見文字的重要性。用Negativ還是Positive，戰略很重要。最后的結尾太主旋律了。#20171015
2016年5月11日看過，非常好的競選電影，電影講述的是美國競選經理幫助委內瑞拉總理選上的過程。最后的結果有些精彩，參加競選的人還是違背了自己的意志與IMF簽訂了協議，這也是反思資本主義和世界金融秩序非常好的一部電影。
which is so true, although vote cannot change everything..it still can change something
沒把選戰氣氛營造起來，也沒看出強強對壘的劍拔弩張，只有各種拉票策略與攻心手段，結局充分印證木下名言：democracy is so overated。桑姐演的不錯，與之對立的松頓叔像個打醬油的，浪費了。6.5/10
前面故事很勵志，但是後面又丟出問題，這問題說實在也不是那麼好解決，雖然很熱血但是還是會思考這當中又有何意義存在。
請不要告訴我那個屁股是我桑自己的。
政治大片，驚喜之作，盡管穿插著喜劇效果，包括幾個片段都很好玩，橡皮筋彈射以及懸崖追車，還有桑德拉的美臀，但是幸好全片整體都在用一種相對比較嚴肅的態度講故事，桑德拉布洛克用強大的氣場撐起整部戲，和松頓的對手戲尤其好看，以及最后的大游行，也有一些隱喻吧，從某種意義上講，政治就是反人民
歐美這套制度，說白了，就是騙么
第一次看試映 非常棒 很爽很流暢 很好笑女主很帥
本子真不錯，可惜Sandra Bullock 演什么都差了一點。“如果投票可以改變什么的話，遲早也是違法的。”
Castillo的原型是玻利維亞前總統Gonzalo Sánchez de Lozada~
我對政治選舉完全不了解，但單看這部電影的情節還是非常有趣的。而且我喜歡Sandy B在這里很神經質的帥氣。
