新西蘭喜劇電影《四季友緣人》的溫暖宛如恰巧燃起的紅爐。首次執導長片的Hamish Bennett同時也是一名教師，透過《四季友緣人》延伸自身的短片作品《Ross & Beth》，重探新西蘭北島農民沈默而封閉的世界。當愛妻猝逝，Ross與同自己如出一轍、不擅言詞的兒子各分東西，他希望兒子能繼承家族產業，但不善務農的兒子卻擁有自己熱愛的工作。飾演Bruce上司的Rachel House表現亮眼，而年輕的Kahukura Retimana飾演熱愛鄉土的毛利少年，表現亦相當精彩，恰如其分地襯托出本片主角父子檔Marshall Napier及Cohen Holloway極富感染力的對手戲。拍攝取景的農村場景及其中搶鏡的家畜，在攝影師Grant McKinnon的細膩操刀下也格外令人感動。。St. Jude Square is a neighborhood living in fear and despair. The dueling gangs of local kingpins Dash and Antuan terrorize the streets and the citizens live without a shred of hope... until mysterious stranger Ryan Hong (Cung Le) arrives in town. He begins to play one gang against the other using his unparalleled martial arts skills, and by calling on the teachings of his brilliant mentor Tiano (Jean-Claude Van Damme) to find the strength to battle back. However, just as he begins to bring the community under control, Hong is confronted by Mr. V, the town's ruthless and corrupt police chief. At first Mr. V is impressed by Hong's skill, but soon sees Hong as a threat to his regime, and the two warriors are locked in a head-to-head battle, pitting the fear and corruption of Mr. V's regime versus the new beginning Hong represents for the people of St. Jude Square.。
