　　影片简介 :
　　1986年的墨西哥，一名男子(汤米·李·琼斯)回到家乡却发现老伴早已不在人世，留下一个已经成年的女儿玛姬(凯特·布兰切特)，玛姬对于父亲长年缺席仍耿耿于怀，但是当她的女儿莉莉(埃文·雷切尔·伍德)遭到不法之徒绑架后，父女两人终于有机会化解歧见合力抢救莉莉。
　　影片评价:
　　影片非常成功营造出了神秘丛林的压迫感，向刀锋一样撞过来的树木飞一般的向人逼近，几乎使人无法喘息。霍华德是非常擅长构设背景的导演，他能够营造出角色性格所需要的那种环境，《美丽心灵》就成功的做到了这一点。在本片中，故事的整个背景都放在神秘的丛林里，然后用一种追踪式的镜头去捕捉，将故事节奏剪接得非常紧张刺激，恐惧感也随之逼近过来。
　　在整体气氛的酝酿成功的基础上，《山穷水尽》几位主要演员的表演都可圈可点，最精彩的要算凯特·布兰琪。她饰演一个从小到大都生活在痛苦中的女子，小时被父亲抛弃、婚后丈夫不久又去世、最后女儿又被绑架，遭受的打击对于一个女人来说，是到了承受的极点了。所以，在影片开始时她担心受怕，失去女儿后失魂落魄，到最后豁出去之后从未有过的坚决反抗，布兰琪都演绎的非常准确。
