　　芽籠，店屋林立，食肆縱橫，更以其內五光十色的紅燈區聞名。一個彷彿沒有盡頭的夜，醫師、妓女、香菸販、政客、龜公，來自不同階層、互不相識的五人，各自為情為權為利，上演一連串陰差陽錯的追逐與殺戮。命運交織，沒有黑白對錯，只有利益爭鬥，五人五色，折射出社會縮影。導演鄺子君以交錯迷離的新黑色電影，攜手李國煌，直探新加坡紅燈區不為人知的人性祕密。

　　本片改编自古龙笔下经典小说《多情剑客无情剑》，由楚原导演兼编剧，狄龙饰「小李飞刀」李寻欢；在新派武侠片高潮时期，「古龙．楚原．狄龙」为著名的铁三角。楚原是将古龙武侠小说搬上银幕最多的导演，亦被古龙公认楚拍片比自己写书更快，而狄龙则是主演楚原影片最多的男星。另有傅声饰「左手神刀」荆无命，尔冬升饰大侠阿飞，井莉饰李寻欢表妹林诗音，谷峰饰金钱帮帮主上官金虹，楚湘云饰迷倒阿飞的林仙儿。
　　本片号称楚原导演的第一百部，仍是他近年例牌的古龙式武侠片，当然谈不上突破性新意，不过楚原无疑拍得比较落力。如果你对古龙式忧郁醉侠、楚原式"枫"花雪月，以及两者的新旧综合体文艺腔尚未厌倦的话，此片倒也有点娱乐性。楚原以前拍过《多情剑客无情剑》（即小李飞刀），不过只是拍到原着的前半部，本片是后半部，电视则上下两辑都已播过。
　　小李飞刀，例不虚发，他又是文质彬彬的君子，极重情义，因而轻易上当，失家失恋，成为酗酒怀旧的"呕血诗人"，这病君在武侠世界的确有点特别。
　　上集的大波折过去后，本片开始时，狄龙扮演的小李悄然回到爱侣故园之旁隐居，遥对窗中倩影，而不相见，直至发生危机，小李才露面相告，并且挺身赴难。旧情人的重逢，是在雪夜，楚原拍出一点哀怨情调，而全片都有着此种无可奈何。
　　这段旧情在本片只是点到即止，并没有拖泥带水，全片仍以奇情冒险为主。有不少高手为争"武林排名"而找小李决斗，小李又要对付恶势力庞大的帮主谷峰，因此比武场面甚多，并不沉闷。
　　情节的主线是小李找寻旧友阿飞相助，但阿飞被阴险美女林仙儿所迷，简直变成废人，小李于是揭破这女人的假面目，并且设法使阿飞振作起来，剧情不乏趣味。若说上集描写友情被骗的话，本片就是描写爱情被骗。
　　尔冬升扮演被纯情迷惑了的阿飞，楚湘云扮演林仙儿（上集是井莉），此外，岳华和刘永串演好名而义气的高手，罗烈则扮演鬼马浪人，形象都搞得不错。当然，更突出的是傅声扮演的帮会杀手，他的右手之谜颇有意外戏剧性。
　　本片剧情和人物都丰富，不过故事不及上集完整，而且未看过上集或原着的话，对人物关系就有点莫名其妙。幸而楚原把原着大加删削，剧情发展尚算流畅热闹，而布景和摄影也特别用心，视觉上相当瑰丽。
　　然而严格来说，楚原虽然落力，但显着地缺乏新招了。武打方面尤其熟口熟面，狄龙分别与岳华、刘永的比武，尚有点巧妙，其他则越搞越乱，最弊的是两大高手谷峰和傅声合战狄龙，竟然笨手笨脚，全无高招，完全不合水平。小李飞刀飞到象乒乓球似的折射，也有点失真。
　　楚原拍古龙其实已经颇为麻木，只是勉强打起精神，但有时会一下子失去感觉，象针刺麻醉似的。前作《英雄无泪》的赵雅芝，自斩一腿，仍能从容地单腿跳走，今次尔冬升临尾被长剑贯胸，也跟没事人一样生猛，大讲大做，此乃导演感官麻木的最佳证明。本片结尾就此散晒。

　　In the time of Counter-Reformation, a miller and his son come under investigation by a priest of the Inquisition, when rumors spread that their prosperity comes from working with the Devil.
　　The Devil's Trap is a film directed by František Vlá?il, based on a novel by Alfréd Technik, adapted by František A. Dvorák and Miloš Kratochvíl. It was the first of three historical dramas that Vlá?il made during the Czech New Wave (technically he isn't really a part of the New Wave, however these films were made during the same era of artistic freedom), preceding his more well known Marketa Lazarová (1967) and Valley of the Bees (1968).
　　Set in the late 16th Century during the Catholic Reformation, in the Moravian Karst, situated in what is now the Eastern Czech Republic, it tells the tale of a miller (Vítezslav Vejrazka), and his son Jan (Vít Olmer), who come under suspicion and are investigated by a Jesuit priest of the Inquisition (Miroslav Macháchek), when rumors of witchcraft are spread by the local regent (Cestmír Randa), who is jealous of the miller's prosperity and degree of respect among the local populace.
　　As expected from Vlá?il, this film is a stunning experience all the way through. From the opening shot, an ominous manipulation of perspective with a close up of a mangled figure of Christ dominating the foreground against a tiny figure in black walking along the horizon, to the breathtaking confrontational finale inside the vast stalactite filled Karst caverns, it is a wonderful display of visual mastery.
　　Maybe not quite as impressive as Marketa Lazarová, but still full of astonishing imagery. As seen from unique angles and distinct points of view which highlight the director's remarkable sense of awareness of framing, motion, and positioning on the emotional and dramatic tone of the scene. The most memorable being a repeated shot where the camera is suspended and launched with speed through the air towards the miller's door.
　　The story here is a simple one and I would say more accessible than his later works. With a conventional structure emphasized as much by its plot and characters, than by its expressionistic cinematography or authentic historical detail. The events play out without much surprise, and there is a strong underlying, almost supernatural, mysterious aspect that is left unresolved, in fact barely explored, which is slightly disappointing, but only because it's so fascinating that I wish there was more.
　　Acting is great all around. Particularly the villains: Miroslav Macháchek as the priest, casting a sinister and imposing shadow wherever he goes, and Cestmír Randa as the weasel like regent behind all the persecution. While Vít Olmer brings a charismatic leading man presence in his role as the miller's son Jan, in love with the lovely orphan girl Martina (Karla Chadimová), who becomes a dangerous object of rivalry between Jan and other young men of the village.
　　The film also features the evocative music of Zden?k Liška (perhaps the most prolific composer of the Czech New Wave). In this his second of eleven collaborations with Vlá?il, his compositions are used sparingly, but to great effect, complimenting but never overpowering a scene. The best example of which can be heard in an amazingly shot celebration and dance sequence at the end of the second act.
　　The Devil's Trap might not be a masterpiece, but it is still a strong effort, with a fascinating straightforward story and a glorious historical setting captured beautifully by Vlá?il's unmistakable visual prowess. A fine work that would also be the perfect starter plate to prepare yourself for the challenging feast of Marketa Lazarová or The Valley of the Bees. It even has an easy to digest running time. It's therefore puzzling why this gem remains largely overlooked and ignored.
