作为商场的保安主管,罗尼(塞斯·罗根 Seth Rogen 饰)对自己的职业很不满意。在他的幻想里,他应该穿着挺括的制服,携带着警徽和配枪,没错,罗尼的梦想是成为一名警察。对于罗尼的梦想,周围的同时和朋友们都不以为然,尤其是漂亮的收银员布兰迪(安娜·法瑞丝 Anna Faris 饰),更是常常对罗尼这不切实际的梦想冷嘲热讽。
这一天,改变一切的机会到来了,一帮劫匪闯进了商场。得知消息的罗尼迅速在心里打起了算盘,他打算亲手逮捕这帮劫匪以彰显自己“杰出的”警察天赋。然而,现实却并没有想象的那么乐观,罗尼莽撞的行为不仅为自己带来了麻烦,同时也让负责此案的警官哈里森(雷·利奥塔 Ray Liotta 饰)大为火光。夹在狡诈的劫匪和愤怒的警察之间,罗尼的情况可谓是千钧一发。
“Lobo Feroz is a loose, revitalised adaptation of Big Bad Wolves. There were many changes that we made when you compare it to the original, given that we added new characters, plot strands and locations, and we introduced and fleshed out new themes teetering between dark comedy and police thriller. The film questions one’s principles, human behaviour and how ambiguous it can be,” the director explained to Cineuropa. “I’m very happy to be able to work with a dream Spanish cast, where everyone demonstrates their enormous talent and commitment in every scene and through every single detail.”
The screenplay for the movie – written by Juan Manuel Foode Roma and Eva María Alonso Moreno – follows a police officer on the fringes of the law and a woman seeking revenge. Their paths cross, as they are obsessed with discovering the identity of the murderer behind a string of brutal crimes involving various girls. They are both willing to do whatever it takes to secure a confession, even though they will have to take the law into their own hands in order to do so. At the same time, a model detective will do his utmost to avoid irreparable errors being made and to ensure that this desperate search for the truth does not transform into the fiercest of wolves.
