Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith, Men in Black
汤米李琼斯 和 威尔史密斯，《黑衣人》
The success of The Fugitive catapulted Tommy Lee Jones from "distinguished character actor" to "leading man" status, and after Bad Boys, the mid-to-late 1990s pretty much belonged to Will Smith -- so Men in Black wasn't just your average action/comedy/sci-fi summer blockbuster, it was an Event Movie with almost $590 million in ticket sales (and a pair of sequels) waiting to happen. It didn't win any awards for storytelling depth (although it did win a Best Makeup Oscar), but its unapologetic popcorn thrills, fueled by Smith and Jones' easy interplay, entertained a whole lot of people -- including Slate's David Edelstein, who called it "The smartest, funniest, and best-looking sci-fi comedy since the movies learned to morph."
电影《亡命天涯》的成功使汤米李琼斯从“优秀的演员”一跃而成为“领军人物”。同时由于电影《绝地战警》，90年代中后期成为了威尔史密斯的时代。因此《黑衣人》绝不仅是一部普普通通的动作片或喜剧片或科幻片，而是一部预计创造590，000，000美元票房收入（包括两部续集）的电影大片。它的叙事深度并未获得任何奖项（虽然该片获得过奥斯卡最佳化妆奖），但史密斯和琼斯的轻松互动所带来的快感给了很多观众带来了愉悦的观影体验，包括"Slate"的影评人大卫爱德斯坦。后者将其称之为“自拥有电影特效以来最聪明的，最有趣的和最好看的科幻喜剧。”
