剧情介绍
故事发生在1952年，越南局势紧张，动乱和战争一触即发。艾登（布兰登·费舍 Brendan Fraser 饰）是由美国援助组织派往越南的工作人员，目睹了越南发生的种种，艾登满腹热忱，希望自己能够在这里大干一番，之后，艾登结识了名叫托马斯（迈克尔·凯恩 Michael Caine 饰）的男子，他是伦敦时报的特派员，十分了解当地的情况。
一次偶然中，艾登见到了托马斯的越南情妇凤（杜海严 饰），很快，艾登就被凤身上所散发出来的神秘气息所吸引，他不可自持地爱上了凤。就这样，艾登、托马斯和凤之间交织出了一段充满了激情而又摇摇欲坠的三角关系，一场凶杀案的发生让这段关系慢慢地濒临崩塌的边缘。 British Thomas Fowler enjoys his life in Saigon working as a reporter for the London Times, covering the conflict in Vietnam between the colonial French powers and the communists, who seem to be winning the war. In the later stages of his career, he takes his job lightly now, filing stories only on occasion, and no longer doing field work. But most important, this posting allows him to escape from what he considers a dreary life in London--including an unsatisfying marriage to a Catholic woman, who will never grant him a divorce--which in turn allows him to have an affair with a young Vietnamese ex-taxi dancer named Phuong, whom he loves and would marry if he were able. Phuong's sister doesn't much like Fowler if only because Fowler cannot provide a stable future for her. His idyllic life is threatened when head office suggests he go back to London. In this way, he decides to write a major story to prove to his superiors that he should stay in Saigon. In 1952, Fowler is called into the local police inspector's office to provide any information on his friend, thirty-ish American Alden Pyle, who has been found murdered. Fowler had met Pyle the previous year when he arrived in Vietnam to work as part of the American contingent in the Economic Aid Mission. Fowler and Pyle's relationship was not always harmonious, initially as Pyle admitted he too was in love with Phuong and wanted to marry her. That antagonistic relationship would extend to their professional lives, around Fowler believing that the story that would allow him to stay in Vietnam was the rise of a man named General Thé, and Pyle's belief that a third power should come in to take over Vietnam from both the French and the communists. The question becomes whether Fowler knows more about Pyle's demise than he lets on to the inspector.

先看书再看电影，果然感觉很好！
日渐衰落的老牌帝国主义拼命想守住自己香艳的猎物越南美人，无奈强大的新兴列强一出场就明目张胆的抢了过来，尽管过程很绅士，还冒着生命危险去通知对方，我爱上了你的女人，你们又没结婚，归我了啊，先跟你打个招呼。美国精神对如此虚伪的假绅士无比崇拜！本质上与王老虎抢亲不还是一样嘛。可是，老奸巨猾的最终还是做掉了年轻气盛的，美帝在沾沾自喜中陷入越战泥潭……结局与事实不符，老家伙再次抱得美人归是英法人的意淫！
去过越南，什么你都会懂的。
布兰登前期也太小白兔了，真相就是快跑啊这人好变态。后劲好大，guilty pleasure了
女主挺美、ost也挺好听，但是三人的爱情纠葛毫不动人，剧情也不紧张刺激。可以说是被剧名给骗了！
没意思
挺好的电影，
优酷大洁94分钟版本
越南
寓意太深，暗喻太隱晦。沉悶難懂，只怪我段位不夠。
真的敢写！
三个人的爱情始终太拥挤，比如美国法国在越南就挺多余的
不错，这评分偏低了。
