在权藤今吾（三船敏郎 Toshiro Mifune）家里，举行了一场关于民族鞋业的董事会议，讨论关于新鞋的质量问题。权藤发表的意见慷慨激昂，他觉得不应该只顾降低成本提高利润，而忽视了鞋子本身的质量。此番言论显然跟其他人急功近利的理念大相径庭，因此其他人合谋决定罢黜他的董事会职位，由某个听话的傀儡顶替。当晚，权藤司机的儿子突然遭到绑架，绑匪以为他是权藤的儿子，因此向权藤勒索3000万元赎金。面对妻子（香川京子 Kyôko Kagawa 饰）的劝解，深陷困境的权藤只得被迫就范，结果犯人用障眼法，避开了探长（仲代达矢 Tatsuya Nakadai 饰）的耳目，成功取走现金，丝毫不留痕迹。破财的权藤还要面临公司和债主的双重威逼。而警方则在绑架地发现了一对因吸食毒品死亡的恋人。然而，这还只是罪犯阴谋的开始……

這部日劇特別篇，重新翻拍黑澤明在1963年的經典之作。此劇是黑澤明的人道主義電影代表作之一。取材於愛德華麥克伯恩所著之《金格的贖金》的架構，探討貧富階級的對立。 　　內容主要描述憎恨有錢人的年輕綁匪、提供贖金的正直商人以及投注全力追捕犯人的刑警，劇中充滿推理情趣，由最後一個埸景，可以看出本部電影的重心在於權籐與竹內之間的抗衡。靠自已努力而飛黃騰達的權籐，以及對現實極度不滿的竹內，兩者之間的對立，可說是現代社會中共通的一大課題。 　　在這部片子中沒有加入任何說教的意味，反而透過高度的影像技巧，將電影的娛樂性與社會性巧妙地結合。將富有正義感的人道行為以男性的感覺透過影像完美地表達出來。這部片子可說成功地將這種魅力發揮到極致。 　　此次特別編找來阿部寬飾演刑警、妻夫木聰飾演內心複雜的犯罪醫生，還有佐藤浩市所飾演的鞋商，皆有突破性的精彩演出。

原作1963年推出，三船敏郎、仲代达矢、香川京子等主演，改编自爱德华·伯恩斯所著小说《King's Ransom》，聚焦贫富阶级之间的对立与冲突，讲述一名鞋业公司高管在处理复杂的工作时，得知绑匪将他司机的儿子误认为他自己的儿子而将其绑走，要求巨额赎金，陷入了两难境地。

号称挪威最迷幻的超现实电影，与当年欧洲的嬉皮LSD运动有关。 　　"Reefer Madness" taken to surrealistic new heights in Sweden, 　　Every falsehood you learned about smoking dope in school is portrayed (to the extreme) in this film. Even the most conservative don't believe anymore that one puff of marijuana will turn you into a raving and maniacal addict. Thats what makes "Heaven and Hell" so entertaining. It takes "Reefer Madness", exaggerate all that legendary film's already inaccurate information, and puts it into such an alien setting (Oslo) that it becomes an surreal experience for my western eyes. The makers of this film obviously knew nothing about their subject; like "Reefer Madness", they wanted to get away with explicit sexuality behind the guise of public warning. Ironically, the only credible information is courtesy of the Dr. Orheim character, a supposed "villain" resembling Timothy Leary. 　　On the technical side, the film is extremely inept also. The direction is the most aesthetically dull thing since William "One-Shot" Beaudine. The acting doesn't help either. Every performer in the cast is dry and unenthusiastic (all the stereotypes about Norwegian drama are supported here). Not to mention the film contains a sex scene between two of the most physically unattractive people I've seen. 　　Still, I enjoyed the film a lot for several reasons. In addition to being hilariously inaccurate, the film is very surreal. I've always found this kind of camp to be rather bizarre, because often it seems so distanced from any kind of logic it resembles an alternate universe. Honestly, I've never seen anything quite like this film. When the young couple drop acid at the end, this gets pushed into Ed Wood territory of unintended surrealism. This would be a great release for Mondo Macabro. (7/10)
