It’s bad luck getting involved in a crime without knowing why. So imagine how terrible it is to be controlled all the time without being able to break free.
在毫不知情的情况下被卷入犯罪案件当中，着实是倒霉透顶。所以可想而知，长期被控制，无法脱身，是多么的糟糕。
This is the premise of the new action thriller Control. The suspenseful vibe throughout its 90 minutes is enough to keep us on the edge of our seats.
最新动作悬疑片《控制》便以这样的情节为前提。在90分钟的影片中，悬疑氛围浓厚，足以让我们紧张到心跳加速。
The unfortunate one here is Mark, played by Daniel Wu. Mark is an ordinary insurance salesman who commits perjury in order to help his sick mother. Soon he gets repeated calls from a mysterious man who threatens him and forces him to commit crimes such as robbing a bank. As Mark’s life gets more and more miserable, the game of identifying the tormentor begins.
片中这一倒霉的角色叫马克，由吴彦祖饰演。他是名普通的保险推销员，为了救助病重的母亲，而选择做伪证。然而不久后，他不断接到一名神秘男子的威胁电话，被迫去抢银行，实施犯罪。马克的生活越来越苦不堪言，于是一场揭露幕后主使的游戏便开始了。
Set in a scientifically advanced, futuristic city, the first few minutes of the film not only pull us into the riddle, they also introduce us to various kinds of high-tech devices —something we don’t often see in Chinese films, especially not those by director Kenneth Bi, who is known for his work on romantic movies.
该片讲述的故事发生在一个科技发达的未来之城。影片开始前几分钟便将观众身陷迷局，其中大量的高科技装备在国产片中并不常见，特别是对以拍摄爱情片著称的毕国智导演更是如此。
As the story continues, we discover that Mark is not the only puppet. There are several others with whom he shares a wrongful past. At this point, it seems clear enough that the film wants to tell us “no one is innocent” and that the mysterious man symbolizes greed and guilt. However, it cleverly avoids pursuing this cliche and offers a surprising twist at the end. Of course, I’m not going to spoil it by telling you.
随着剧情的发展，我们发现并非只有马克一人被操控。片中其他一些人也和马克一样，有着不堪回首的过去。很明显，从这个角度来看，影片想向我们传达“没有人是清白的”这一主题，而神秘男子则象征着贪婪与罪恶。但是，该片巧妙地避免了落入俗套，剧情在结尾发生惊天大逆转。当然，我是不会剧透的。
Wu is certainly an adept actor in this film. And while I expected to see more of Yao Chen —it’s her first film after having a baby in July —it’s a pity that her part is not that prominent.
吴彦祖在本片中演技纯熟。虽然我希望多看看姚晨的表现——这是她自七月产子后出演的首部影片——但很遗憾她的戏份并不多。
But the real star of Control is Bi, who’s both the writer and director. Thanks to him, the film goes beyond the topic of “being controlled” to “losing control”, adding a refreshing angle to an existing concept.
而《控制》一片真正的功臣要数集编导与一身的毕国智。有了他的参与，电影主题越过“被控”，转为“失控”，打破定式，添加了新的视角。
A man’s actions can be controlled, but not his heart. So if the controller plays with the wrong puppet, that can bring bad luck, too.
尽管一个人的行为可以被控制，但是内心是无法被左右的。因此，如果操控者找错了对象，也同样会招致厄运。
