U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens is a modern day 19th century-style lawman, enforcing his brand of justice in a way that puts a target on his back with criminals and places him at odds with his bosses in the Marshal service. That conflict results in a reassignment for Givens to the U.S. District covering the town where he grew up. He is an anachronism - a tough, soft spoken gentleman...
《火线警探》(Justified) 是根据埃尔莫·伦纳德 (Elmore Leonard) 2001年小说《当心火药》(Fire in the Hole) 中美国联邦执行法警雷伦·吉文斯 (Raylan Givens) 这一西部牛仔式人物形象创作的美国红色罪案剧集。
雷伦在亲爹阿洛 (Arlo) 住处发现陈年驾照,将众人目光引向过世愈30年的神秘男子德鲁·汤普森——是否确有其人?到底是死是活?缘何多方瞩目?
雷伦上司、列克星敦首席联邦执行法警阿特·穆伦 (Art Mullen) 的这一番随手探访,不曾想惊动了身处底特律的黑帮大佬西奥·托嫩 (Theo Tonin),更是把肯塔基小镇哈伦 (Harlan) 搅得天翻地覆、尘土飞扬。
奥德尔(茅斯·达夫 Mos Def 饰)和路易斯(约翰·哈克斯 John Hawkes 饰)两位小贼相识于铁窗之后,颇为投机的两人决定出狱之后联手行动,干一票大买卖,就此安度余生。于是,两人将目标放在了名为弗兰克(蒂姆·罗宾斯 Tim Robbins 饰)的富有资本家身上,他们绑架了弗兰克的妻子米奇(詹妮弗·安妮斯顿 Jennifer Aniston 饰),以此向前者讨要巨额赎金。
可是,很快,奥德尔和路易斯就发现,他们的盘算落空了。原来,弗兰克早就有了性感美艳的情人玛姬(艾拉·菲舍尔 Isla Fisher 饰),根本没有想要赎人的意思,他巴不得两位绑匪尽快了结自己的糟糠之妻,如此一来自己便可以省下一大堆麻烦。
He used to be on the bomb squad, but it's not until he transfers out that Chris Mankowski really begins juggling with dynamite. Rape and revenge are just the tip of the iceberg in a twisty tale that brings Los Angeles denizens to life - and occasional death - in all their seedy glory, circa 1974.
