The subtitle of Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet’s first feature, from 1965, “Only Violence Helps Where Violence Reigns,” suggests the fierce political program evoked by their rigorous aesthetic. The pretext of the film, set in Cologne, is Heinrich Böll’s novel “Billiards at Half Past Nine,” which they strip down to a handful of stark events and film with a confrontational angularity akin to Bartók’s music that adorns the soundtrack. The subtlest of cues accompany the story’s complex flashbacks. The middle-aged Robert Fähmel tells a young hotel bellhop of persecutions under the Third Reich| his elderly father, Heinrich, an architect famed for a local abbey, recalls the militarism of the First World War, when his wife, Johanna, incurred trouble for insulting the Kaiser. A third-generation Fähmel is considering architecture, just as the exiled brother of Robert’s late wife, returns, only to be met by their former torturer, now a West German official taking part in a celebratory parade of war veterans. Straub and Huillet make the layers of history live in the present tense, which they judge severely. The tamped-down acting and the spare, tense visual rhetoric suggest a state of moral crisis as well as the response—as much in style as in substance—that it demands.。中情局的精明探员凯文在黑道组织中卧底，去完成一项阻止核武器流入黑市的机密任务，但就在他即将成功完成任务时却被杀身亡，由于已经到了破案的关键时刻，时间急迫，中情局在别无选择的情况下，只好安排凯文失散已久，并和凯文长相酷似的孪生兄弟杰克来继续这项任务。 然而杰克虽然外表长的和凯文一模一样，但却是个对特工技能一窍不通的上班族，为了训练他成为卧底超级探员，中情局可以说是伤透脑筋，于是找来凯文的拍档盖洛德对杰克进行紧急训练，要在短短的9天内将他训练成超级特工。。
